Me

My e-mail is danila.medvedev@mail.ru, ICQ number is 96584270. My CV (as of 2003, sorry, will update ASAP) is here.

Recently I got my Ph.D. for work on calculating value of projects in levered companies in Engecon (St. Petersburg, Russia). Before that I studied in Lappeenranta University of Technology (Finland) on IMPIT Program.

Transhumanism


Recently I have translated the Transhumanist FAQ into Russian.

Transhumanism is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the possibilities for overcoming biological limitations through technological progress. Transhumanists seek to expand technological opportunities for people to live longer and healthier lives and to enhance their intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities.
