__Memo3 -- Biosketch, 2033__ Thomas Solley received his Masters in mechatronics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2017 and now works as the CEO of Solley Industries ®, the company he founded in 2027. Solley worked as a project engineer for Hasbro's Advanced Technology and Innovation Group for two years before serving as principal robotics and vision scientist at iRobot and as a power electronics lead at DEKA for three years each, before finally heading the Raytheon XOS 3 project. After development of the mobile XOS4 was completed, Solley went on to found his own company, Solley Industries ®, an advising and R&D company that has since re-shaped the market of technology.

Since then, his company's research has focused on sociotechnology, bioethics, and transhumanism, leading the charge to what he has called the "uplifted society," a technological age most commonly referenced with the works of science-fiction authors Larry Niven and Arthur C. Clarke. The company has distinguished itself from other competitors with their program of affordable, eco-friendly prosthetics and company motto of "bringing the world of science-fiction into reality." ®

Thomas Solley is a recognized transhumanist and political figure on human augmentation, his products stemming from his graduate and undergraduate work in motor-kinetic systems and cultural swarm behavior. He is most famous for his theoretical paper on the analysis of self-modifying systems in biology and weather at the 2026 Humanity+ conference in Boston, and his following papers on meta-resonance and personal vs. networked power that year.
