My name is Steven G. Johnson. I am an assistant professor of applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where I also received a Ph.D. in theoretical condensed-matter physics, as well as three bachelor of science degrees (in physics, mathematics, and electrical engineering & computer science).

My major professional interests involve nanophotonics (electromagnetism in materials structured on the same scale as the wavelength) and high-performance scientific computing. I was co-recipient of the 1999 Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software, for my work on the FFTW fast Fourier transform library (www.fftw.org).

I've been involved in Wikipedia for some time (as User:Stevenj), and am curious but somewhat cautious regarding the Citizendium project.
