Timothy L. Johnson, Associate Professor of the Practice in Energy and the Environment and Visiting Instructor of Energy Initiative

I currently work for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development, where my research examines the social and environmental consequences of technology change across the energy system. In addition to technology-specific assessments, my work looks at long-range scenarios of energy system evolution; the economic, social, and technical forces driving this change; and their social and environmental impacts.
