Long Bio
Paul C. Johnson is the 17th president of the Colorado School of Mines and Emeritus Professor of the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment. Professor Johnson’s expertise is in soil and groundwater remediation and risk assessment. His work forms the basis for many widely applied technologies and regulatory guidance on risk assessment. His research group received the 2011 Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program Project of the Year Award.
Professor Johnson was the dean of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (2011-2015); the executive dean (2006-2011) of Fulton Schools and associate vice president for research for Arizona State University (2004-2006); and the associate dean for research for the Fulton Schools of Engineering (2002-2004). Under Professor Johnson's leadership, the Fulton Schools focused on improving student outcomes and promoting innovative programming and curricula. He established the “Fulton Difference,” which promotes learning beyond traditional coursework, nurtures entrepreneurs and relies on a strong peer-mentoring culture, and the philosophy that students are to be engineers from day one. Before joining ASU in 1994, he was a senior research engineer at the Shell Oil/Shell Chemical Westhollow Technology Center (1987-1994).
Professor Johnson is the co-author of 12. U.S. patents. He's served on the National Research Council Committee on Future Options of the Nation’s Subsurface Remediation Effort. He also served as the editor for the National Ground Water Association’s journal, Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation (2003-2011) and received the association’s Keith E. Anderson Award in 2011. In recognition of his contributions to the profession, he has received the 2006 AEHS Academic Career Recognition Award and the 2014 Lifetime Award in Remediation sponsored by Brown and Caldwell. In recognition of his contributions to education, Johnson was named Outstanding Educator of the Year by the Arizona Professional Engineers Society in 2011 and the Nathan Burbank Environmental Educator of the Year Award in 2014.
