Sarah Johnson is a PhD student in the J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. She earned her Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering at Clemson University. She spent two years at Los Alamos National Laboratory working on environmental vibration testing as a post-baccalaureate student before starting graduate school at Texas A&M. Her current research focuses on characterizing nonlinear elastic materials like rocks and composites using resonance testing techniques. She aims to improve understanding of physical mechanics that lead to nonclassical nonlinear behavior in sandstone. Her work is funded by Los Alamos National Laboratory.
