Anthony Nielsen
Anthony Nielsen is the Director of Technology Outreach for the U.S. Transhumanist Party. He has also occupied the position of Vice-Chairman of the U.S. Transhumanist Party during February - April 2024 and will again serve as Vice-Chairman in February - April 2025.[1] Anthony Nielsen is also the Secretary of the Nevada Transhumanist Party since July 26, 2022.[2]
Nielsen has spent over 15 years in different industries including petrochemical engineering, analytical testing, chemical manufacturing, cannabis processing, and technological development for government agencies.
Nielsen's journey started at UCLA where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry in 2005, for the purpose of performing forensics and crime-scene investigation. Quickly, Nielsen fell into analytical testing at Chevron in Richmond, CA, where he eventually worked his way into zeolite research and development. During the next six years, he managed to revise many processes, including zeolite synthesis, analytical testing, catalytic characterization, and chemical hazard safety.
In 2013, Nielsen had the opportunity to attend Northeastern University (NEU) on the opposite side of the country in Boston, MA. There, he made the leap from Chemistry to graduate-level Chemical Engineering, where he finished his Master of Science Degree in 2016 in order to specialize in renewable energy. While at NEU, Nielsen began working for an engineering consulting firm on a portable fire-retardant foam device for U.S. Marine Corps supply vehicles. It was there that he realized his talent for crossing technological boundaries.
After finishing graduate school, he continued to consult in several industries, starting with the new burgeoning cannabis industry and growing his business to include aerospace, polymers, nanoparticle glass, energetic explosive compounds, and 3D-printing resins.
Virtual Enlightenment Salon
On March 21, 2021, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invited Anthony Nielsen to a three-hour Virtual Enlightenment Salon to discuss his practical technological endeavors in realms such as chemical engineering and chemical formulation, as well as his views on the current technical possibilities for implementing the transhumanist vision. The conversation explored what readily available technologies today could be deployed to a much greater extent than they are, so as to bring about improvements in day-to-day life and solve pressing problems.[3]
