Peter M. Johnson, Ph.D.

Research Interests

• Combinatorial methods for viscoelastic responses
• Buried interfaces
• Photopolymerization and polymerization kinetics

Background

I earned my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University and obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder under Dr. Christopher Bowman and Dr. Jeffrey Stansbury. My thesis research involved kinetic and material property modeling of complex, multi-component photopolymer systems using high-throughput analysis. Since common photopolymer applications include a multiple distinct monomers and other components, predictive modeling allows a faster search for appropriate formulations.
