J. Storrs ("Josh") Hall is a Research Fellow of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing. His research interests involve most aspects of molecular manufacturing systems, but his particular area of specialization is systems-level analysis of self-extending, self-repairing, and self-replicating systems, including both mechanical and control software aspects.

Dr. Hall was a co-inventor of adiabatic switching for reversible computing, an architectural necessity for energy-efficient computation at the molecular level. He is perhaps best know for his invention of Utility Fog, a proposed polymorphic material that can be programmed to simulate most actual materials ranging from solids to gasses.

Before coming to IMM, Dr. Hall was a researcher with the Laboratory for Computer Science Research at Rutgers University. He was co-PI for the CAM Project, which designed massively parallel processors based on content-addressable memory principles. He also worked on design automation for microprocessors, and systems and languages for artificial intelligence.

Dr. Hall spent 2 years as the Chief Scientist of Nanorex, a nanotech start-up, but he now spends his full time doing AI research (and writing books about it). He is married and lives in Pennsylvania's endless mountains. He is an avid tennis player, wine collector, and builds competition robots.
