Chris J. Myers received the BSÌýdegree in electrical engineering and Chinese history in 1991 from the CaliforniaÌýInstitute of Technology in Pasadena, California, and the MSEEÌýand PhDÌýdegrees 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 andÌýComputer Engineering at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

Myers is the author of over 180 technicalÌýpapers and the textbooksÌýAsynchronous Circuit DesignÌýandÌýEngineering Genetic Circuits. He is also a co-inventorÌýon fourÌýpatents. His research interests include asynchronous circuit design, formal verification of analog/mixedÌýsignal circuits and cyber-physical systems, and modeling, analysisÌýand design of genetic circuits.

MyersÌýreceived an NSF Fellowship in 1991, an NSF CAREER award in 1996, and best paper awards at the 1999 and 2007ÌýSymposiums on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems. HeÌýis a fellow of the IEEEÌýand a member of the editorial boards forÌýACS Synthetic Biology,ÌýEngineering BiologyÌýandÌýSynthetic Biology, and has served on the editorial boards for theÌýIEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems,ÌýIEEE Design & Test Magazine,ÌýIEEE Life SciencesÌýLettersÌýandÌýFormal Methods in System Design. Myers served as the director for the State of Utah Center ofÌýExcellence in Asynchronous Circuit Design. HeÌýis also a leader in the development of standards for systems and synthetic biology.ÌýIn particular, he has served as an editor for the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) standard, is the chair of theÌýsteering committee for the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) standardÌýand is the chair of the coordinationÌýboard for the Computational Modeling and Biology Network (COMBINE).
