Dr. Newton Howard
Founder: Newton Howard Industries
Distinguished Professor: Rochester Institute of Technology
Former Professor: Oxford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Georgetown University

At the helm of Newton Howard Industries is Dr. Newton Howard, a world-renowned cognitive scientist, technologist, and innovator whose work bridges the divide between human intelligence and machine precision.

Currently a Distinguished Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a former professor at Oxford University (where he remains a member of Congregation), MIT and Georgetown University, Dr. Howard has built a career at the intersection of academia, national defense, and entrepreneurial innovation. He is the founder of ni2o, Inc, a pioneering neurotechnology company developing AI-powered brain-computer interfaces to treat neurological disorders, and ultimately enhance human cognitive and physical performance.

A polymath with an extraordinary academic pedigree, Dr. Howard holds advanced degrees in Mathematics, Cognitive Informatics, Neurosurgery, and Medical Sciences from Oxford University and Sorbonne University. Dr. Howard’s breakthroughs are redefining what is possible in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, advanced mobility and quantum security.

Throughout his career, Dr. Howard has consistently turned theory into action. His inventions power technologies used daily around the world, from intelligent wireless hotspots to the linguistic engines behind Google Translate. His research has birthed foundational tools including:

Physics of Cognition:   A mathematical framework for modeling dynamic systems in medicine, economics, and defense
Intention Awareness:   A predictive model that deciphers human intent in natural environments
Mood State Indicators:   Intelligent tools for detecting human emotions through voice and language
ADAMA:   A first-of-its-kind system for interpreting metaphor in real time
Functional Code Unit:   A bridge between brain activity and machine logic
Brain Code:   A model unlocking emergent properties of the human mind

Dr. Howard has founded and led premier research labs at Oxford, MIT, and Georgetown University, including the Computational Neurosciences Lab and Synthetic Intelligence Lab. He is also the visionary behind two influential nonprofit organizations: the Howard Brain Sciences Foundation, which funds groundbreaking brain research, and C4ADS, a data-driven think tank focused on global security.

At his core, Dr. Howard is driven by a singular mission; to decode the human brain and restore dignity to those affected by neurological disease and cognitive decline. Newton Howard Industries brings forth an important mission, coming to life through innovation, both personal and powerful. Collectively, Newton Howard Industries are engineering a future where brain health and human potential are not only preserved but enhanced.
