In the first person /

Career In October 2014, I was appointed as Chair in Science Communication & Future Media, at University of Salford, Manchester. Formerly, I was Professor of Ethics & Emerging Technologies at the University of the West of Scotland, where I was also founder and Director of the Creative Futures Institute; a cross-faculty research unit focused on bringing together research perspectives around key questions confronting the future of humanity. My principal role there was to lead and nurture the research culture of the Institute, build research capacity, oversee communications, and develop world-leading research. Qualifications During my first degree I specialized in philosophy and science, while my PhD drew on various intellectual traditions, notably from cultural studies, philosophy of technology, and bioethics to examine the human genome project and its implications beyond therapy. It explored the emerging culture of biotechnological body modification within elite sports, which led to my writing in such areas as medical sociology, digital health studies, biolaw, mediated spectacle, and posthumanism. My subsequent MPhil in Medical Law & Ethics encompassed such areas as cyberlaw and cybermedicine. Impact Throughout my career, I have ensured that my research extends well beyond academia. I hold several roles with media outlets, notably the Huffington Post for which I write in the USA and the UK. I also interview fortnightly for the world’s media, where some of my most well-received work includes writing for the Washington Post, Wired, The Guardian, The Independent, interviewing for Andrew Marr, appearing live on BBC Newsnight, BBC World and BBC News 24. Several broadsheet newspapers and magazines have also written profile pieces about me, including the Spanish national El Pais (2012) and Scotland on Sunday (2012). I have also been interviewed by such magazines as Vogue, Wallpaper* and Fortune. I am invited to give public lectures and conference keynotes on a fortnightly basis at major meetings and I am a regular contributor to science festivals, recently Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Manchester and the Battle of Ideas in London. Over the last 5 years, and I have been invited to over 30 countries and given over 80 funded talks, including corporations such as Swiss Re and the BBVA. Often, my involvement around events is drawn together by projects that allow me to influence and shape the work of others and, in turn, for them to inform my trajectory.

I am a passionate science and technology communicator and prosumer of social media. My personal website receives around 4,000 page views per month and I have over 5,000 followers on Twitter. andymiah.net twitter.com/andymiah facebook.com/andymiah flickr.com/andymiah youtube.com/andymiah “Andy Miah is the Renaissance man of the enhancement enlightenment” H+ Magazine “Andy Miah is no ordinary academic.
