William C. Johnson
Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Ph.D., Michigan Technological University
 
Dr. Johnson joined the faculty in 1993. He has published over 100 papers on solid-state phase transformations. He has received the Robert Lansing Hardy Gold Medal of The Materials Society, the Bradley Stoughten Outstanding Young Teacher Award and the Henry Marion Howe Award of the American Society for Metals, the 1990 Outstanding Paper Award from Acta Metallurgica, the H.S. Morton and All-University Outstanding Teaching Awards, and is a Fellow of ASM. He was also an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He taught previously at Carnegie Mellon University and the Technical University in Berlin, Germany.
 
Research Interests
William Johnson's research interests include the effect of composition, epitaxial, and transformation strains on diffusional phase transformations; the thermodynamic stability of small, multiphase and multicomponent systems; and modeling interfacial motion and microstructural evolution in multicomponent alloys.
