Ockle Johnson
Ockle Johnson was a Ph.D. student of Banchoff's, receiving his degree in
1990. His thesis, Chain level Whitney duality theorems for simplicial
manifolds, reinterprets in the simplicial case some important results
for smooth smooth surfaces. In 1998, Banchoff and Johnson published the
paper "Normal
Euler Class and Singularities of Projections for Polyhedral Surfaces in
Four-Space" together.
After leaving Brown, Johnson had a teaching and research fellowship at St.
Olaf College. Currently, he teaches at Keene State University, in Keene,
New Hampshire. In 2002, Johnson received the Teacher-of-the-Year award from
that institution, and then an award as outstanding teaching of the year for
the state of New Hampshire. He and Banchoff continue to collaborate on
several related papers.
