About Us | Chris Owens
Chris Owens combines more than two decades of active business experience with an academic background in computation and artificial intelligence to derive practical client value from advanced science. He is an expert in representation—translating complex real-world phenomena into the data structures around which analytic models, business processes, and software systems can be built, with a particular focus on how the collective behavior of individual participants creates the overall system behavior of financial markets, transportation networks, and other webs of interdependent economic activity. Dr. Owens brings a powerful and diverse set of intellectual tools and experience to bear on problems ranging from the optimal positioning of transportation assets to the analysis and design of secure financial transaction systems.
Before co-founding Interisle, Dr. Owens led the Boston and Washington, DC scientific consulting practices for BiosGroup, a company focused on the application of advanced computational and mathematical techniques to the simulation and optimization of complex dynamic systems in the real world. Earlier, at R&D pioneer BBN, he developed post-trade processing systems for the securities industry, value-added networks for specialty financial services providers, secure electronic payments systems, and submarine combat electronics. Dr. Owens was one of BBN's principal contributors to the eCheck initiative, which resulted in the first electronic payments delivered by the U.S. Treasury over the public Internet. He began his career on the faculty in the department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Owens holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Yale, and an AB in Psychology from Columbia.
