Kurt is an entrepreneur who works at the interface of technology and natural resources and an adjunct professor in Stanford University’s Department of Energy Resources Engineering. He’s previously founded a carbon sequestration and enhanced oil recovery business as well as a direct investment platform to acquire North American natural gas assets based on a proprietary, physics-based tool that more accurately forecasts natural gas production from hydraulically fractured wells.
Previously, Kurt was a KAUST Research Fellow at MIT where he studied the chemistry and physics of CO2 capture and storage. He received his PhD from Harvard University in Earth & planetary sciences for similar work and his BA in physics from the Claremont Colleges. Kurt has also worked in private equity and corporate advising for Bain & Company.
Open to the Harvard community.
