Chris Johnson

Christopher Johnson is a Reader in Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Manchester, Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on continuum mechanics, particularly in modelling fluid and granular processes in geophysical flows such as avalanches, debris flows, and density/turbidity currents. He is also the director of postgraduate research in mathematics at Manchester. Johnson's work contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being. He is actively involved in research projects related to debris-flow dynamics, wave phenomena, and snow avalanches. He accepts PhD students and offers funding opportunities for those interested in fluid and granular flows.

Chris G Johnson is a Reader in Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Manchester, specializing in fluid mechanics, granular flows, and geophysical flows. His research focuses on understanding the dynamics of granular materials and their behavior in natural and engineered systems. Key areas include segregation mechanisms, flow instabilities, and the formation of structures such as levees and fronts in granular and geophysical flows. His work explores both theoretical and experimental approaches to model complex phenomena like gravity currents, free-surface flows, and the interaction between particle size and flow dynamics. Johnson's research has significant implications for geophysics, environmental science, and industrial applications involving granular materials.
