Research notes on emerging tech

About

George Budwell, Ph.D

I analyze breakthrough technologies reshaping our world -- from eVTOL aircraft and quantum computing to artificial intelligence and next-generation semiconductors. My work appears regularly in The Motley Fool, where I cover innovative companies at the intersection of deep tech and market transformation.
 

My technology analysis has been featured in major media outlets, including BioSpace, Time Magazine, Newsweek, and Fox Business News. I specialize in making complex innovations accessible, whether explaining how Archer's eVTOL technology works, decoding Palantir's AI platforms, or analyzing the semiconductor revolution driving companies like Nvidia. 

I broke into journalism as a biotechnology specialist. However, I have since broadened my coverage to include all the game-changing technological innovations shaping today's world.

I pride my work on being one of the first to seriously cover emerging trends, proven my early work on companies like Archer Aviation, Viking Therapeutics, and Navitas Semiconductor.

 

I strive to understand bleeding-edge tech and subsequently educate the broader public about its merits/drawbacks in a balanced manner. To do so, I try to avoid complex industry-specific jargon in my pieces, as well as remind readers that early-stage tech companies are breathtakingly risky. Yes, the potential is real. But failure always lurks, a harsh reality for investors in the space.  

My technical foundation stems from over a decade of experience in scientific research and medical writing. I've authored successful grants from the National Geographic Society, NIH, and the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science. This rigorous scientific background -- including peer review work for 20+ scientific journals and grant review for the NSF and NIH -- enables me to evaluate emerging technologies with both depth and clarity.

​​

I hold a Ph.D. in the biological sciences and bring that same analytical rigor to understanding the technologies that will define our future, from quantum computing breakthroughs to the nuclear innovation powering tomorrow's clean energy grid.
