He has also introduced several prospective investors to Dr. Chun-Wei Yao, an assistant professor in mechanical engineering working on superhydrophobic nano coating that represents a significant advance in liquid friction reduction and corrosion resistance in pipelines. In developing the upcoming Midstream Roundtable focused on corrosion, Johnson introduced us to a highly respected speaker who has since joined the team of panelists.
“It is people like Johnson who will enable us to build the Midstream Center into a problem-solving cornerstone of midstream industry, as well as a midstream thought leader,” said Thomas Kalb, director, Center for Midstream Management and Science. “We are proud to have him on our team at Â鶹ӳ»Ó°Òô and to have him as the Center for Midstream Management and Science’s Profiles in Midstream honoree.”
