About David Urnes Johnson
Driven mechanical engineer and energy entrepreneur, excited to make a difference in the sustainable energy space. Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University where I conducted both experimental and modeling research into solid oxide-based carbon fuel cells. An expert in thermodynamics, electrochemistry, heat transfer, and energy system modeling. Alumnus of Stanford Ignite, a Stanford GSB program in innovation and entrepreneurship. Former CTO of SkyCool Systems, where I brought our innovative, passive cooling technology to market. Thrives on big challenges, engaging teamwork, and never shy away from putting in the hours required to get the task done. When not working on my next energy project, you will find me spending time with my family, rock climbing, or training to get back into sub-3-hour marathon shape.
