outcomes of household energy projects, with an emphasis on monitoring instrumentation and study design. His peer review publications include articles on the development and validation of the UCB-Particle and Temperature Sensor, characterization of environmental
monitors, as well as methods and tools for evaluating stove performance and linking it to indoor air pollution. He has also published papers on greenhouse gas emissions and stove performance testing, and several others on indoor air pollution, exposure assessment,
and characterization of monitoring instruments. Dr. Johnson is a co-author of the forthcoming WHO Indoor Air Quality Guidelines and was on the core committee which developed the stove performance guidelines in the ISO International Workshop Agreement on Clean
Cookstoves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
