Erik Johnston received his Ph.D. in Information in 2007. He is an Assistant Professor of Policy Informatics in the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University. In his work he will be helping to develop the Center of Policy Informatics. The Center is research focused investigating how models and simulations can be used to assist individuals and groups make policy choices.
