Chris J. Myers received the BS听degree in electrical engineering and Chinese history in 1991 from the California听Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, and the MSEE听补苍诲 PhD听degrees from Stanford University in 1993 and 1995, respectively. Before arriving at CU Boulder, he was a professor and associate chair in the Department of Electrical and听Computer Engineering at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
Myers is the author of over 180 technical听papers and the textbooks Asynchronous Circuit Design and Engineering Genetic Circuits. He is also a co-inventor听on four听patents. His research interests include asynchronous circuit design, formal verification of analog/mixed听signal circuits and cyber-physical systems, and modeling, analysis听补苍诲 design of genetic circuits.
Myers听received an NSF Fellowship in 1991, an NSF CAREER award in 1996, and best paper awards at the 1999 and 2007听Symposiums on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems. He听is a fellow of the IEEE听补苍诲 a member of the editorial boards for ACS Synthetic Biology, Engineering Biology听补苍诲 Synthetic Biology, and has served on the editorial boards for the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems, IEEE Design & Test Magazine, IEEE Life Sciences听Letters听and Formal Methods in System Design. Myers served as the director for the State of Utah Center of听Excellence in Asynchronous Circuit Design. He听is also a leader in the development of standards for systems and synthetic biology.听In particular, he has served as an editor for the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) standard, is the chair of the听steering committee for the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) standard听补苍诲 is the chair of the coordination听board for the Computational Modeling and Biology Network (COMBINE).
