Evan C. Johnson

Evan C. Johnson, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Division of Kinesiology and Health at the University of Wyoming, where he conducts research on physiological mechanisms linking hydration, physical activity, and heat exposure. His work spans occupational health, clinical physiology, and sports science.

• Ph.D., University of Connecticut (2014)
• M.A., University of Connecticut (2008)
• B.A., George Washington University (2004)

Dr. Johnson’s research focuses on hydration biomarkers, thermoregulation, and their impacts on health outcomes, including chronic kidney disease and mood regulation. His studies often involve fieldwork with occupational groups like sugarcane workers and wildland firefighters.

Recent publications highlight trends in heat acclimation protocols, hydration assessment tools, and the interplay between fluid intake, physiological stress, and disease progression. His work emphasizes practical applications for workplace health and athletic performance.

Dr. Johnson teaches advanced courses in exercise physiology and pharmacology, including KIN 5586 (Advanced Exercise Physiology) and KIN 4900 (Drugs & Exercise Performance). He is based in the Corbett Building, Room 109.
