معرفی
David Johnson is an Associate Professor of Political Science and an Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University's College of Liberal Arts. He holds a Ph.D. in Policy Analysis from the Pardee RAND Graduate School (2013), a MASt in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2005), and a B.S. in Mathematics from North Carolina State University (2003). His research focuses on developing simulation models, economic analysis tools, and decision support systems to address environmental policy challenges, particularly climate change adaptation and flood risk management. He leads the development of Louisiana’s Comprehensive Master Plan flood risk model and explores bioenergy, water scarcity, and agricultural sustainability. His interdisciplinary work bridges public policy, environmental science, and engineering systems.
Dr. Johnson’s research emphasizes uncertainty analysis, tradeoff assessment, and policy evaluation. His recent studies include optimizing flood protection systems, evaluating bioenergy’s greenhouse gas impacts, and analyzing long-term agricultural practices. While no formal student advisees are listed, his work intersects with engineering and environmental disciplines. Awards or grants are not explicitly mentioned in the provided materials.
His academic roles span political science and industrial engineering, reflecting his dual focus on policy analysis and technical systems. He collaborates across disciplines to address complex environmental challenges, leveraging mathematical and computational modeling expertise from his academic background.
