Research Description

Professor Johnson studies micro- and nanomechanics of electronic materials, mechanics of nanostructures, materials behavior in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and the mechanics of photonic materials. He leads the Nano-Electro-Opto Mechanics Group, which uses atomistic and continuum modeling methods to understand coupled mechanical and electronic or optical behavior. The group's goal is to simulate real systems to help design and interpret experiments.
