View Mike Doyle's CV »

Dr. Michael Doyle is the Vice President for Research, and Professor of Biology, at New Mexico Tech. He pioneered the creation of fundamental technologies that underlie such revolutionary breakthroughs as Spatial Biology, the Cloud, blockchain/cryptocurrency systems, and mobile intelligent assistants. Dr. Doyle received his PhD from the Department of Cell & Structural Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He went on to serve as Director of the UIC Biomedical Visualization Laboratory from 1989 to 1993. Prior to founding Eolas Technologies Inc. in 1994, Dr. Doyle served as Director for the Center for Knowledge Management at the University of California, San Francisco. While at UCSF Medical Center, in 1993, Dr. Doyle led a research team that developed the fundamental web technologies which enabled Web browsers for the first time to act as platforms for fully-interactive embedded applications, in the process pioneering Web technologies such as streaming media and cloud computing. To assist the University of California in commercializing the related patents, Dr. Doyle founded Eolas, where he was the architect of the company's research and development efforts. Dr. Doyle generated over $250 million dollars in research revenue since 2008, including over $50 million in patent royalties for the University of California System. His 1995 invention of code signing has become the worldwide defacto standard for securing executable Web content. Widely recognized as the Father of Spatial Biology, his work in high-performance biological computing pioneered this important new field of science. His creation of transient-key cryptography in the late 1990s enabled the later creation of the Bitcoin system, and has been adopted in the x9.95 ANSI National Standard for secure timestamps. His co-invention of the Skybot mobile intelligent assistant system in 2005 pioneered the mobile virtual-assistant technology that is now ubiquitous worldwide.
