Dr. Newton Howard is the founder and chairman of the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, a Washington, D.C. National Security Group. He is a leading international researcher on the physics of cognition (PoC) and its applications to defense and international security.
A graduate of the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Oxford, his work there proposed the Theory of Intention Awareness (IA). Dr. Howard is the founder and director of the Institute for Mathematical Complexity and Cognition (MC2). Addressing subjects related to cognition, complexity and intentions, this institute is also active in systems engineering and international security. Dr. Howard also heads the Descartes Institute, which focuses on behavior models and codification to develop new approaches for counterterrorism based on in-depth analysis.
A professor in mathematics, informatics and psychiatry, Dr. Howard holds teaching positions at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). He is an active member of several research laboratories worldwide, including Les Écoles de Coëtquidan - École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, and the École Militaire in Paris. Having held held the posts of visiting professor/associate and defense diplomat, Dr. Howard is the director of leading international cooperation programs on Codification of Asymmetric Emerging Trends in Global Security and Information Assurance, and is a Senior Research Professor at the Cyber Security Policy Research Institute, as well as director of homeland security initiatives at RIT.
Dr. Howard advises several organizations in the U.S. special operations community and has extensive experience of working in the industry. He holds multiple U.S. patents, and is the author of several publications in the areas of military information science, computer systems theory, and strategic thinking. He is affiliated with the U.S. Intelligence Community and served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces as Strategic Intelligence Officer.
Dr. Howard holds a Doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Cognitive Informatics from La Sorbonne in Paris, France.
