Matthew Johnston

Dr. Matthew Johnston is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at San José State University. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Waterloo and researches mathematical biology, focusing on biochemical reaction networks, enzymatic processes, and genetic regulatory dynamics.

His work applies dynamical systems and stochastic processes to model enzyme kinetics, signaling pathways, and network persistence. Dr. Johnston co-organized the Workshop on the Global Attractor Conjecture and leads seminars on applied computational mathematics.

Publications emphasize linear programming approaches to network equivalence, stochastic robustness, and translated reaction networks. His research provides tools for predicting behaviors in complex biological systems.

Dr. Johnston teaches mathematical modeling, differential equations, and dynamical systems. He collaborates with institutions like UW-Madison and UC Berkeley to advance chemical reaction network theory.
