Dr. Howard holds a Doctoral degree in Cognitive Informatics from La Sorbonne, France. Internationally, he is a leading 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 for Mathematical Methods in Behavioral Codification and Global Security, focusing on behavior models and codification to develop new approaches for counter-terrorism based on in-depth analysis.
A Professor in Mathematics, Informatics and Psychiatry, Dr. Howard is an active member of several research laboratories worldwide, including Les Écoles de Coëtquidan - École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, and the École Militaire de Paris. Having held held the posts of visiting professor/associate and defense diplomat, he is the director of leading international cooperation programs on Codification of Asymmetric Emerging Trends in Global Security and Information Assurance, and is a Research Professor at the Cyber Security Policy Research Institute (CSPRI). Dr. Howard held teaching and research positions at the Rochester Institute of Technology and The George Washington University.
Dr. Howard advises several organizations in the US special operations community and has extensive experience of working in the industry. He holds multiple US patents, and is the author of several publications in the areas of military information science, computer systems theory, and strategic thinking. A former affiliate of the US Intelligence Community, he served honorably in the US Armed Forces as Strategic Intelligence Officer.
