In 2012 Johnson's team discovered three exoplanets, including the smallest one found to date, orbiting a red dwarf using the Kepler orbital telescope. A subsequent study used the host star's similarity to Barnard's star and observations from the Keck Observatory to determine more information about the system and the size of its three planets. He is the principal investigator of the Miniature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array (MINERVA), a ground-based robotic search for exoplanets.
