Karl Johnson


Karl Johnson, chemical and petroleum engineering, describes how he uses computer simulation and modeling to find a material that will rapidly absorb carbon dioxide at a low cost, and how Pitt's collaborations with the National Energy Technology Laboratory and access to the Center for Simulation and Modeling and Pittsburgh Super Computing Center help make his research possible.
