Professor Chris Miller is an expert on international politics, economics, and technology. He is the author, of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology, a book that explains how computer chips have made the modern world'and how the U.S. and China are struggling for control over this fundamental technology. A handful of companies control the manufacturing of all the world's semiconductors, giving them a chokehold over the computing power on which everything from the biggest data centers to the tiniest Internet-of-Things devices depend. The future of computing, the book argues, will be determined by who controls the ability to produce the world's most advanced chips. Chip War won Financial Times' Best Business Book of the Year award and was described by The New York Times as a 'a nonfiction thriller.'

Miller serves as associate professor of international history at The Fletcher School at Tufts University and co-director of the school's Russia and Eurasia Program. He also serves as visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Eurasia Director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a leading think tank, where he researches and writes on trends in international politics. He is also a Director at Greenmantle, a New York and London-based macroeconomic and geopolitical consulting firm that advises some of the world's largest hedge funds, venture capital firms, asset managers, and corporations.
