 Jeffrey
E Johnson
Associate Professor and Chair

Jeff Johnson likes to teach Quantum Physics and Astronomy, which “allows
me to
give my students an appreciation of the wonder and weirdness of
our universe.”
Before coming to Augsburg and completing his Ph.D. in elementary
particle
theory, Johnson worked in the industry as a mathematician and physicist.
He
began research in space physics in 1989. He came to Augsburg because
he saw it
as a “college of the city.” “I also liked how
the department is committed to the
students and teaching.”
“We try to connect with our students. The opportunities
for undergraduate
research are plentiful, and students have appreciated the chance
to work with
professors on cutting edge research.”
