Christopher R. Johnson
Christopher Ray Johnson (born January 17, 1960 in Kansas City (Kansas) ) is an American computer scientist and biophysicist who specializes in scientific computing and visualization.
Johnson studied physics at Wright State University with a bachelor's degree in 1982 and at the University of Utah with a master's degree in 1984 and a doctorate in medical biophysics with Robert Lux in 1990 ( The Generalized Inverse Problem in Electrocardiography: Theoretical, Computational, and Experimental Results The Generalized Inverse Problem in Electrocardiography: Theoretical, Computational, and Experimental Results ). From 1985 he taught physics at Westminster College in Utah and from 1990 he was assistant professor and from 1996 associate professor at the University of Utah. In 2003 he became a Distinguished Professor of Computer Science.
He was founding director of the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) at the University of Utah, which was founded there as a research group in 1992.
He received a Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1994, the Governor of Utah's Medal in Science and Technology in 1999, the IEEE Computer Society's Babbage Award in 2012, and the Sidney Fernbach Award in 2013 . He is a Fellow of SIAM and the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
