Allen Howard is a USTAR Professor in the Department of Physics at Utah State University. He also is a member of the technical staff at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), where he manages a DPG-USU student co-op program. His research interests include optical remote sensing, geophysical applications of electromagnetic theory, applied mathematics, and signal processing. This work resulted in many technical publications and presentations, two U.S. patents, and the award of IEEE Fellow. More recently, he has worked on optical methods to retrieve aerosol properties from active and passive sensors in the lower atmosphere.
Mr. Howard has served as professor of geophysics at the Universidade do Para and the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense, both in Brazil. He also taught in the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Arizona and more recently in the Physics Department at Utah State University. In 1995, he founded Terragraf, a high-resolution subsurface imaging company. Mr. Howard has done extensive consulting; the organizations for which he has consulted include: Standard Oil, British Petroleum, Los Alamos Labs, and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
