John H. Johnson is presidential professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics, Michigan Technological University (MTU) and a fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers. His experience spans a wide range of analysis and experimental work related to advanced engine concepts, emissions studies, fuel systems, and engine simulation. He was previously project engineer, U.S. Army Tank Automotive Center, and Chief Engineer, Applied Engine Research, the International Harvester Co., before joining the MTU mechanical engineering faculty. He served as chairman of the MTU mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics department from 1986- 93. He has served on many committees related to engine technology, engine emissions, and health effects; for example, committees of the Society of Automotive Engineers, the National Research Council (NRC), the Combustion Institute, the Health Effects Institute, and the Environmental Protection Agency. He consults to a number of government and private sector institutions. In particular, he served on the NRC Committee on Fuel Economy of Automobiles and Light Trucks, the Committee on the Effectiveness and Impact of a Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards, and on the Committee on Advanced Automotive Technologies Plan, and was Chair, Committee on Review of DOE's Office of Heavy Vehicle Technologies. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Johnson served on the SAE Board of Directors from 1982-85. He was the editor of the three previous Progress in Technology Books on diesel particulate emissions. Over 80 SAE papers have been authored by Dr. Johnson. He received the SAE Arch T. Colwell Merit Award (outstanding paper - emphasis on the originality of the contribution as well as the excellence of the presentation) in 1983 and 1994. In 1993, he and his research colleagues received the SAE Horning Memorial Award, which was given in recognition of distinguished active research in diesel emissions to the better mutual adaptation of fuels and engines. In 1998, he and his doctoral student received the SAE Myers Award for the Outstanding Student Paper. Dr. Johnson has been a member of the SAE Engineering Activity Board - Publications Advisory Committee (PAC) from 1975- 1987 and the Chairman from 1982-87. He has been a member of the SAE Technical Communications Committee, which replaced the PAC, from 1987 to the present. In 1988, he received the SAE Forest R.
