Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael Howell researches quantitative technology forecasting, focusing on trend extrapolation methods and modeling technological progress. His work examines data from space travel to analyze trends in spacecraft lifespan and technological development, drawing parallels with established forecasting models like Moore's Law and Wright's Law. Howell has published on forecasting satellite lifetime using quantitative data and on whether technological progress can be characterized as a random walk. He also investigates the combination of time and budget constraints in modeling the trend of spacecraft lifespan for deep space exploration. Howell collaborates with researchers from Arkansas State University and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, with whom he has multiple shared publications.
