Tihamer “Tee” Toth-Fejel, MS is
Senior Research Engineer at General Dynamics Advanced Information
Systems, where he investigates
nanotechnology applications for aerospace and other
areas.
Tee is Chair of the
Steering Committee of the Nanomanufacturing Technical Group of the
Society of Manufacturing Engineers and is on the Advisory Board of The
Nanoethics Group.
He is a Senior Associate of the Foresight
Institute, where he
has been a member since 1987. He was Secretary of the Molecular
Manufacturing Shortcut Group, a special interest chapter of the
National Space Society.
He earned his Masters Degree from the University of Notre Dame, in the
Department of Electrical Engineering. His master’s thesis was on
“Self-Test: From Simple Circuits to Self-Replicating Automata” and
resulted in his first article on Transhumanist themes:
Angels of
Steel. His 1996
LEGOs to the Stars: Kinetic Cellular Automata, and Parallel
Nanomachines for Space Applications anticipated much of the
subsequent
work in modular robotics, and led to his being PI for the NASA
Institute for Advanced Concepts’ project
A Kinematic Cellular Automata
Approach to Self-Replicating Systems and co-PI
with Chris
Phoenix for
Large-Product
General-Purpose Design and Manufacturing Using Nanoscale
Modules.
Tee authored
Non-Evolvable Indirectly Replicating Nanorobots with Self-Assembling
Parts,
Molecular Manufacturing and The High Frontier,
Agents, assemblers, and ANTS: scheduling assembly with market and
biological software mechanisms,
Nanoelectronics: Early Results from the Top-Down Approach,
and
Machine Intelligence in Space, and coauthored
Dr. Factory™ and Cause-MIC: A Manufacturing Consultant
Assistant
and
its Modular Bayesian Belief Network Development and Execution
Environment and
