Ian Johnston Biography

As scientific expert and and consultant to several television programmes Dr Ian Johnston is an academic engineer and applied mathematician with a passion for taking science to the masses.

He has recently worked on Electric Dreams' (BBC4/BBC2 series on modern domestic technology) and 'Battle of The Geeks' (BBC2's update of 'The Great Egg Race' in which Ian took on the Heinz Wolff role opposite Richard Hammond). He is currently consultant to 'Bang Goes The Theory' (BBC1's popular science magazine programme) and has appeared on stage at Bang! road shows with the presenters.

He believes that engineering is about to enter its most exciting phase for years: a new scientific and industrial revolution in which humanity must learn how do everything again, but this time in a sustainable way. This breakthrough is going to take the brightest, keenest, most imaginative and creative minds for generations, and we have to start enthusing people of all ages and backgrounds now.

After studying engineering science at Oxford, Ian graduated and started research on artificial knee joints. After a couple of years he ran away from academic life to enter full time training as a ballet dancer - returning to the fold a year later when money and talent ran out simultaneously.

Since 1991 he has worked for the Open University as a Staff Tutor (lecturer) in Technology, which means that he jointly overseas academic aspects of the presentation of technology faculty courses throughout Scotland.

His official research is in superconductivity, in which he has recently gained a doctorate. However, he finds informal research just as entertaining and rewarding: his two most famous inventions are the world's most flippable drinks mat (the Aeromat, designed in 2003) and the Technotowel (2004), a bath towel which doesn't fall off when you answer the door to the vicar after a shower. Neither of these have made it into production yet, but he remains open to offers.

From November 2005 until June 2006 he was seconded to work as Director/CEO of the Active Training and Education Trust, an educational charity which runs residential holidays for children. He now runs the EcoWeek Trust which runs hugely oversubscribed residential weeks for children at the Centre for Alternative Technology in mid-Wales.

Ian Johnston is available for after-dinner, conference speaking engagements and hosting award ceremonies.
