The concept was to identify research with potential for positive impact from rising researchers across the state of Texas.
The winners:
- Industry: Southwest Research Institute’s Michael A. Miller, Ph.D., for his poster, “LotusFlo™: A Molecular Plasma Coating Process for Mitigating Deposit Adhesion on Surfaces.”
