Michael Johnson
Technical Director, Berkeley Air Monitoring Group
Michael Johnson, PhD, is the Technical Director of Berkeley Air Monitoring Group. He works primarily on field-based assessments of household energy projects, including studies on stove performance and usage, indoor air quality, personal exposure, and health impacts. He has also done research on mitigating air pollutant exposure for wildland firefighters and urban bus commuters, as well as on the relationship between air quality and the degradation of lead-based paint. He has over 50 peer-reviewed publications, including articles on exposure to household air pollution, climate-forcing and health-damaging pollutant emissions, stove performance testing, and others. Dr. Johnson is leading the exposure monitoring effort for the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) trial and is a co-author of the WHO Indoor Air Quality Guidelines for Household Fuel Combustion. He is also heavily involved in the development of international standards for cookstoves, focusing on the development of performance targets. Dr. Johnson has a Ph.D. in Environmental Health, Science, & Policy from the University of California, Irvine, and a B.A. in Physics from Colorado College.
