L. Andrew Coward was born and educated in England, graduating in Natural Sciences from Downing College, Cambridge. He had a 30 year career with BNR/Nortel Networks in Canada and the United States. In the course of this career he worked on many different aspects of the design of real time electronic control systems with billions of components. He became interested in applying the techniques for designing complex systems to understanding the brain, and his first book on this topic was published in 1990. In 1998 he took early retirement from Nortel to work full time on understanding the brain. He lives in Vancouver, Canada but for many years has carried out research and teaching with the Australian National University where he is currently an Honorary Associate Professor.
