Blair Johnson conducts experimental research on model turbulence-driven environmental flows. Growing up in Baltimore, MD, his annual summer trips to Ocean City, MD inspired a fascination with waves and sand. Originally planning to become a structural engineer, exposure to undergraduate research in coastal engineering introduced him to fluid mechanics phenomena, particularly turbulent diffusion and coastal erosion. Johnson completed his B.S. in Civil Engineering with a concentration in structures and a minor in piano at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in 2008. He then earned his M.S. in Civil Environmental Engineering from Cornell University in 2011, where he also worked as a visiting researcher at the Instituto de Hidráulica Ambiental in Santander, Spain in 2012. Johnson received his Ph.D. in Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology from Cornell University in August 2016. Afterward, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Laboratory of Energetic Flow Turbulence at Arizona State University from 2016 to 2017.
