Jeremiah Johnson
Bio
Dr. Jeremiah Johnson joined NC State’s Department of Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering in 2017 as an associate professor and as part of the faculty cluster focusing on Sustainable Energy Systems and Policy. His research uses systems methods to evaluate the environmental impacts of changes to the power and transportation systems, including those driven by technology (such as the integration of wind power, solar photovoltaics, and energy storage) and policy. Dr. Johnson has projects funded by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Sloan Foundation. At NC State, he teaches courses related to sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy. He earned a Ph.D. and an M.S. from Yale University in environmental engineering and a B.S. in chemical engineering from Clarkson University. He is originally from the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in New York.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF INTERESTS:
I am an environmental engineer who conducts research on the environmental impacts of emerging technologies, with a focus on the electric power and transportation sectors. My projects use life cycle assessment, optimization of power system operations and planning, and building-level controls experiments. I am interested in contributing to projects that use systems approaches for climate mitigation and adaptation.
