Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Johnson is a Research Data Scientist and 2025 Columbia MPH graduate in Epidemiology focused on climate health, infectious disease surveillance, and disaster preparedness, currently contributing to real-world evidence and environmental health research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and serving as a Climate Health Fellow with NYC Health + Hospitals. With a decade of experience bridging quantitative methods, GIS, and anticipatory action, he translates complex transmission dynamics and risk assessments into actionable public health insights. His academic and applied work spans focus-group driven qualitative frameworks to programmatic quantitative tools, and he teaches epidemiologic study design to graduate students. A pragmatic coder with several course-driven projects on GitHub, he pairs technical experimentation with policy-relevant analysis—plus an unexpected passion for rugby, maps, and sharks that fuels his curiosity about complex systems.
