Jeremy Johnson is a Professor in the Departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.  He just completed a ten year term as Department Head of the Computer Science Department.  He received a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1985, a M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware in 1988, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Ohio State University in 1991.

Dr. Johnson's research interests include algebraic algorithms, computer algebra systems, problem solving environments, programming languages and compilers, high performance computing, hardware generation, and automated performance tuning.  He is currently working on SPIRAL, a joint research project with Carnegie Mellon University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, ETH Zurich, to develop techniques to automatically implement and optimize signal processing algorithms. He Director of the Applied Symbolic Computing Lab (ASYM) with projects in signal processing, communications, scientific computing, computer algebra and power systems funded by DARPA,NSF, DOE, and intel. He currently serves as chair of ACM SIGSAM, the special interest group in symbolic and algebraic manipulation, and the Franklin Institute Computer and Cognitive Science cluster in the Committee on Science and the Arts.
