Research Interests

Johansen's work intersects materials science, glass structure, and molecular mechanics. She employs machine learning to predict glass properties and investigates nanoscale deformation using in situ X-ray diffraction. Her studies cover:

• Oxide glass composition and mechanical stability
• Aluminosilicate network modeling
• Indentation-induced fracture behavior
• Shear flow mechanisms in disordered systems
• Multi-scale structural characterization
• Data-driven material design frameworks

Projects

Active in the NewGLASS: New Horizons in Glass Structure Prediction and Mechanics project (2022–2027), collaborating with international researchers on structural-mechanical correlations in glasses.

Publications

Recent contributions include:

• 2025: Machine learning study on aluminosilicate stiffness and toughness
• 2024: In situ X-ray nano diffraction analysis of oxide glass deformation
