Michael Pennington Johnson
Associate Professor of Management Science and Urban Affairs
University of Massachusetts Boston
Summary
I am associate professor in the Department of Pubic Policy and Public Affairs at University of Massachusetts Boston, and direct the Public Policy PhD program. My research interests lie primarily in operations research/management science planning models for public-sector facility location and service delivery, with applications to subsidized/affordable housing, senior services and community corrections. I also use cost-benefit analysis to estimate impacts of public policies and information technology to design decision support systems. My primary mission is to develop quantitative methods that enable public organizations serving disadvantaged and vulnerable populations to develop programs and policies that jointly optimize economic efficiency, beneficial social outcomes and social equity. I have taught courses in research methods, geographic information systems, quantitative methods, decision support systems, operations research, cost-benefit analysis and management information systems. I have also supervised numerous capstone project courses at the master's and doctoral levels.
