Steven Hausman Ph.D
Futurist and Technology Expert |n Making Complex Science and Emerging Technologies Understandable
What will the future look like, and how will emerging technologies transform the way we live, work, and interact with the world? These are the questions that Dr. Steven J. Hausman has spent much of his career exploring, and answering, in ways that make even the most complex scientific and technological developments understandable, fascinating, and relevant.
A nationally recognized futurist, technology consultant, author, and professional keynote speaker, Dr. Hausman brings an unusual combination of scientific expertise, senior executive leadership, and engaging communication skills to audiences across the country. His presentations explore the breakthroughs and disruptive technologies reshaping our future, including artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, cybersecurity, and human enhancement.
His journey from scientist to futurist began with a distinguished career in biomedical research and federal scientific leadership. After earning his Ph.D. in Immunology and Transplantation Genetics from the University of Pennsylvania, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute for Cancer Research, now the Fox Chase Cancer Center. He subsequently joined the National Institutes of Health, where he spent 31 years in positions of increasing responsibility, culminating in his appointment as Deputy Director of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, a Senior Executive position.
During his NIH career, Dr. Hausman gained extensive experience in scientific research, healthcare innovation, strategic planning, technology implementation, and organizational leadership. Among his accomplishments was helping lead the transformation of the NIH research grant application process from a paper-based system to electronic submission.
Following his federal career, Dr. Hausman founded Hausman Technology Presentations and Consulting, combining his scientific knowledge and leadership experience with a passion for helping people understand the extraordinary technological changes taking place around them.
What distinguishes Dr. Hausman as a speaker is his ability to translate complicated scientific concepts into compelling stories, practical insights, and thought-provoking perspectives. Rather than overwhelming audiences with technical jargon, he uses clear explanations, memorable examples, and humor to illuminate the opportunities, challenges, and societal implications of emerging technologies.
His presentations go beyond describing what new technologies can do. They examine what these innovations may mean for businesses, healthcare, society, and individuals—and how people and organizations can better prepare for the changes ahead.
Dr. Hausman's expertise encompasses a broad range of scientific and technological subjects, from medical advances to climate change science, aging, nutrition,cybersecurity, and the ethical implications of technological progress. This breadth enables him to tailor presentations to audiences with widely varying backgrounds, interests, and levels of technical knowledge.
A widely quoted technology expert, Dr. Hausman has established a reputation for making the future both understandable and exciting. His expertise has also been recognized through top rankings in multiple speaking categories, including technology, science and engineering, the future, cybersecurity, aging, and climate change science.
Audiences leave his presentations with more than an appreciation of technological innovation. They gain a clearer understanding of the forces shaping tomorrow, a fresh perspective on the opportunities and challenges ahead, and new ideas for navigating a rapidly changing world.
Dr. Hausman's goal is straightforward: to make the science and technology of tomorrow understandable today, and to leave audiences informed, entertained, and inspired to think differently about the future. Since science, technology and medicine are always changing his presentations are never "canned" and include the latest developments in each field.
