Andrés Gómez Emilsson (born in Mexico City, 1990) is a consciousness researcher at the Qualia Research Institute and the founder of the Stanford University Transhumanist Association.

From a young age, Emilsson was interested in math, science, and philosophy and participated in math and science olympiads.

He switched his focus to consciousness after a transformative spiritual experience.

As head of Stanford University Transhumanist Association, he met prominent British philosopher David Pearce, author of The Hedonistic Imperative, and decided to make the abolition of suffering his life goal.

In a 2015 article in *Harper's Magazine *, he was described as a negative hedonistic utilitarian.
