About Me

Dean Radin, PhD, was elected President of the Parapsychological Association five times. He is currently Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and Associated Distinguished Professor of Transpersonal and Integral Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. His original career track as a concert violinist shifted into science after earning a BSEE degree in electrical engineering, magna cum laude with honors in physics, from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and then an MS in electrical engineering and a PhD in psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. For a decade he worked on advanced telecommunications R&D at AT&T Bell Laboratories and GTE Laboratories. For over two decades he has been engaged in frontiers research on the nature of consciousness. Before joining the research staff at IONS in 2001, he held appointments at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, Interval Research Corporation, and SRI International.

He is author or coauthor of over 300 scientific, technical and popular articles, some four dozen book chapters, and nine books, including the award-winning and bestselling The Conscious Universe (HarperOne, 1997), Entangled Minds (Simon & Schuster, 2006), a 2014 Silver Nautilus Book Award, for Supernormal (Random House, 2013), and Real Magic (Penguin Random House, 2018). These books are all in print and have been translated into 14 foreign languages. His technical articles have appeared in journals ranging from Foundations of Physics and Physics Essays to Psychological Bulletin and Journal of Consciousness Studies. He was featured in a New York Times Magazine feature article, and he has appeared on dozens of television shows worldwide, including PBS in the US, BBC in the UK, NHK in Japan, and many other outlets.

He has given over 600 interviews and talks, including invited presentations at Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, Princeton, and the Sorbonne; for industries including Google, Rabobank, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck; and for organizations including the US Army, US Navy, the National Academy of Sciences, DARPA, the Indian Council of Philosophical Research (India), the International Center for Leadership and Governance (Malaysia), and the Australian Davos Connection's Leadership Retreat. In 2022 he was awarded an honorary DSc (doctor of science) degree from the Swami Vivikenanda University (an accredited university in Bangalore, India).
