He is a former Fortune 500 corporate patent strategist, former business consultant, professor, author, apologist, chemical engineer, paper industry expert and patent agent with over 100 US patents who received attention defending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on his website at jefflindsay.com and LDS blogs. He is the lead author of ''Conquering Innovation Fatigue: Overcoming the Barriers to Personal and Corporate Success'' (New York: John Wiley and Sons, 2009), which shortly after publication in June 2009 was named by ''BusinessWeek'' as one of its top 20 new book recommendations for summer reading.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=www.businessweek.com )〕 Prior to his current professional position as Head of Intellectual Property at Asia Pulp & Paper in Shanghai, China, he was the director of Solution Development at Innovation Edge, corporate patent strategist and senior research fellow at Kimberly-Clark Corporation in Neenah, Wisconsin,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.forest-products.org/leader-bios.html )〕 as well as an associate professor at the Institute of Paper Science and Technology on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. He also served as chair of the Forest Bioproducts Division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers from 2007 to 2011.〔 In 2012 he received AIChE's Andrew Chase Award from the Forest Bioproducts Division for his service to the industry and AIChE,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aiche.org/community/awards/andrew-chase-division-award-chemical-engineering )〕 and in 2013 he was named a fellow of AIChE.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aiche.org/profile/jeffrey-lindsay )〕 In 2015, another professional society, TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industries) published an article about his professional and volunteer activities in their "Member Spotlight" on their website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tappi.org/Membership/Spotlight/Jeff-Lindsay.aspx )〕 He has a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Brigham Young University, where he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow. He currently lives in China, where he is a frequent speaker at conferences and seminars on intellectual property, innovation, and the paper industry. ==LDS apologetics== Apart from his professional activities, he is also known for his writings dealing with the purported plausibility of the Book of Mormon and to a lesser extent for his work in Mormon history, in particular responding to various statements from anti-Mormon sources and frequently asked questions about the LDS Church. His writings are primarily on his website at JeffLindsay.com, particularly his LDSFAQ section (LDS Frequently Asked Questions), though he has blogged regularly on the Mormanity Blog since 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mormanity.blogspot.com )〕 More recently, he was selected as one of the bloggers for Orson Scott Card's Nauvoo Times where he blogs weekly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nauvootimes.com/ )〕 The ''Mormon Interpreter'', a pro-LDS website featuring scholarship and apologetics, prominently featured Lindsay in the 2014 article "Eye of the Beholder, Law of the Harvest: Observations on the Inevitable Consequences of the Different Investigative Approaches of Jeremy Runnells and Jeff Lindsay" by Kevin Christensen. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eye of the Beholder, Law of the Harvest: Observations on the Inevitable Consequences of the Different Investigative Approaches of Jeremy Runnells and Jeff Lindsay )〕 According to Christensen, Lindsay deals with the issues raised in Runnells' popular critical work "at greater length, over a much broader span of time, consulting a wider range of sources, providing far more documentation, and including far more original research than Runnells." Original contributions from Lindsay mentioned include his satirical treatment of Walt Whitman's ''Leaves of Grass''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jefflindsay.com/bomsource.shtml )〕 as "evidence" of Book of Mormon plagiarism as well as treatments of the Book of Abraham and other topics. At the ''Mormon Interpreter'', Lindsay has also been cited for a "thoughtful blog response to () New York Times article"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mormoninterpreter.com/jeff-lindsay-comments-on-thoughts-for-mormon-doubters/ )〕 Several of Lindsay's writings have been published or cross-posted at another pro-LDS website, FAIRMormon.org, including his analysis of a critical response to one aspect of the Arabian Peninsula evidence for the Book of Mormon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.fairmormon.org/2013/12/23/noham-thats-not-history-nor-geography-cartography-or-logic-more-on-the-recent-attacks-on-nhm/ )〕 Lindsay has written an article ''Does DNA Evidence Refute the Book of Mormon?'', in which he concluded that many Latter-day Saints incorrectly assumed that Lehi's group was the primary genetic source for all Native Americans and recommended that such errant assumptions be abandoned. Additionally, he noted that the Book of Mormon does not make such claims regarding Lehi and therefore only encourages a more enlightened view rather than complete abandonment of the Book of Mormon. This was one of the early articles on DNA-Book of Mormon issues noted by the Church and made available as a PDF file on their LDS Newsroom at LDS.org.〔 (A more recent version of his paper ) can be found on his web site.〕 Lindsay's work in Mormon history has attracted the attention of various Mormon research groups, including the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies. Some of Lindsay's claims have been criticized.〔For an example of a point-by-point dealing with some of Lindsay's points, see (this blog entry ) from exmormon.org 〕 For example, Richard Abanes, a writer critical of Mormonism, refers to Lindsay's work as "numerous self-published articles, not scholarly, extremely biased, articles often based on misinformation". Some LDS people also disagree with some of Lindsay's viewpoints. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Lindsay (engineer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
