Professor
Johnson's research interests are in the area of scientific computing.
Particular interests include inverse and imaging problems, adaptive methods
for partial differential equations, numerical analysis, computational
steering and problem solving environments, computational problems in
medicine, and scientific visualization. In 1992, Professor Johnson was
awarded a Young Investigator's Award from the NIH, in 1994 he was awarded
the National Young Investigator (NYI) Award from the NSF, and in 1995 he
was awarded the Presidential Faculty Fellow (PFF) Award from the NSF. In
1996 he received a DOE Computational Science Award and in 1997 recevied the
Par Excellence Award from the University of Utah Alumni Association and the
Presidential Teaching Scholar Award. This past year, Professor Johnson was
Awarded the Governor's Medal for Science and Technology from Utah Governor
Michael Leavitt. He directs the Center for Scientific Computing and
Imaging and is Co-Director of the Computational Engineering and Science
Program.
