Sarah Mobley

Sarah Mobley is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, part of the College of Engineering. She joined the faculty in August 2019, bringing both academic expertise and practical industry experience from her prior role as a lead engineer with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources.

Education:

• PhD in Structural Engineering, University of South Florida, 2019
• MS in Geotechnical Engineering, University of South Florida, 2017
• BSCE, University of Alaska, Anchorage, 2010

Sarah Mobley's research and teaching focus on advanced topics in civil engineering, particularly in the areas of materials testing, experimental stress theory, and transducer design. Her work extends to deep foundation construction and quality control, with a specialized interest in electrochemical diagnostic techniques and the behavior of the support fluid–concrete interface in drilled foundation applications. These interests bridge experimental mechanics and practical construction engineering, contributing to safer and more reliable infrastructure.
