Lewis E. Johnson is a research scientist
at the University of Washington, Seattle,
Washington. He obtained his bachelor’s
degree in chemistry at Pomona College,
Claremont, California, where he conducted
research under the guidance of Professor
Malkiat Johal, as well as research as an intern
at NOAA with Dr. James Farr. He earned his
PhD in chemistry and nanotechnology from
the University of Washington under the
guidance of Professor Bruce Robinson. He
has taught at Pomona College (his undergraduate alma mater) as a postdoctoral lecturer and worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory,
where he conducted research on glass formation in calcium aluminate
electride semiconductors with Dr. Peter Sushko and on allosteric modulation of electron transfer in nitrogenase with Dr. Simone Raugei. His
current research involves designing and characterizing new nonlinear
optical dyes and modeling the formation and structure of complex noncrystalline materials, among other projects.
