Author and Professor, Georgetown University
Cal Newport is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, specializing in the theory of distributed algorithms. He earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 2009.
Newport is also the author of Deep Work (2016). In the book, he argues that the ability to focus without distraction is a superpower in the multi-tasking, internet-obsessed 21st century economy. In his newest book, A World Without Email (March 2021), Cal proposes a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox — and unleashing a new era of productivity.
