OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael Howell's research investigates quantitative technology forecasting, focusing on methods for predicting technological advancement. His work has examined trend extrapolation techniques and applied them to specific domains, such as modeling spacecraft lifespan based on time and budget constraints. Howell has also explored the nature of technological progress, questioning whether it follows a random walk and analyzing data from space travel to understand its patterns. His publications have explored relationships between technological progress metrics like Moore's Law and Wright's Law, and the concept of exponential growth in space exploration.

Howell has a notable record of collaboration, with multiple shared publications with Richard S. Segall from Arkansas State University, and with Daniel Berleant and Peng-Hung Tsai from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with 9 total publications and 104 citations.
