Dr. Alan A. Johnson


Concise Biography


Dr. Alan A. Johnson was born and raised in England where he attended Reading School (1940-49) and Reading University (1949-52).  After two years as a research student and Demonstrator in Physics in the Physics Department at the University of Toronto, Canada, he returned to England and served two years as a Scientific Officer in the Royal Naval Scientific Service (RNSS).  His work for the RNSS was on Top Secret defense projects and involved serving on the Royal Research Ship Discovery II.

In 1956 he began work on a Ph.D. project on neutron irradiation of metals at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London University.  Here he held positions as Research Assistant (1956-57), ICI Research Fellow (1957-59), CEGB Research Fellow (1959-60) and tenured Lecturer in Metallurgy (1960-62).
Late in 1962 he left London for the United States and, in 1963, became Director of Research at the Materials Research Corporation in Orangeburg, New York.  In 1965 he was appointed Professor of Physical Metallurgy at Brooklyn Polytechnic and in 1967 became Head of the newly formed Department of Physical and Engineering Metallurgy.  In 1969 he also became a Science Advisor to Mayor John Lindsay of New York City with the title “Chairman, Mayor’s Oceanographic Advisory Committee”.

In 1971 he moved to Washington State University as Professor of Materials Science and Chairman of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.  Then, in 1975, he moved to the University of Louisville where he served as Professor of Materials Science (1975-2002) and, briefly, as Dean of the Graduate School (1975-76).  After resigning from the University of Louisville in 2002 he was active in consulting until the end of 2014.  He now has a restricted practice limited to the field of metal product failures.

Degrees
1.    B.Sc. in Physics, Chemistry & Auxiliary Mathematics, University of Reading, 1952.
2.    B.Sc. (Special Hons.) in Physics, University of Reading, 1952.
3.    M.A. in Physics, University of Toronto, 1954.
4.    Ph.D. in Metal Physics, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London University, 1960.
5.    D.I.C. (Diploma of Imperial College) in Metallurgy, 1960.

Research
Dr. Johnson’s early work at Imperial College focused on the effects of neutron irradiation in a nuclear reactor on the mechanical and electrical properties of body-centered cubic metals such as molybdenum and niobium.  On moving to the United States his work broadened to include many metals and alloys and, specifically, materials for use in surgery and dentistry.  In addition, he developed a type of syntactic foam made using cenospheres derived from fly ash. This material has found a place as a buoyancy material in various areas of ocean engineering.At Washington State he worked on a NASA funded project on the solidification of metals in a microgravity environment. His work provided the background for one of the experiments on Skylab.  At Louisville he pursued theoretical research on impact fatigue of metals, i.e. on the effects of repeatedly striking a metal component or specimen, and other projects.

Consulting
Dr. Johnson’s has worked as a consultant throughout his career.  He started, while at Imperial College, as a summer consultant to the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell.  His second assignment was as a consultant to the C.A. Parsons Company in Newcastle.  This assignment was given by Parsons’ Director of Research Dr. (later Sir) Monty Finniston.  Since these early assignments his work has been both continuous and extensive as he has undertaken projects for many large and small industrial corporations and a large number of law firms.  He has a great deal of experience as an expert witness having frequently givendeposition testimony and participated in jury trials.  In 1987 Dr. Johnson founded his consulting company, Metals Research Inc., which he dissolved at the end of 2014.  He has retained key items of equipment from the company and uses them in the very limited number of legal cases which he now takes.  These cases are ones in which he is able to bring to bear his extensive knowledge of metals and alloys acquired during a long career in academia and consulting.

Community Involvement
Dr. Johnson has served as a volunteer at the St. John Center for Homeless Men in Louisville for thirty years.  It was for his work at this Center that he was named a Distinguished Citizen of Louisville.

He served for about ten years as organist and choir director at Messiah-Trinity Church in Okolona, Louisville.  He has written a considerable volume of as yet unpublished choral music which his former choir still routinely performs.
