Professor, School of Computing
Research Associate Professor of
Physics and Bioengineering
Ph.D., University of Utah, 1989
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, 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 received the Par
Excellence Award from the University of Utah Alumni Association and the
Presidential Teaching Scholar Award. In 1999, Professor Johnson was Awarded
the Governor's Medal for Science and Technology from Utah Governor Michael
Leavitt. He directs the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute.
