Jacob Jordan

Mati’s science and research is led by Dr. Jacob (Jake) Jordan (AB, University of Chicago, PhD University of Texas). Dr. Jordan previously worked as Head of Science for Lithos Carbon, Inc and has consulted for numerous CDR projects and institutions including the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC) the Yale Carbon Containment Lab, CREW Carbon among others.

Jake leads Mati’s Science team with a focus on building robust MRV processes and researching the durability of ERW as a carbon dioxide removal strategy. Jake is particularly interested in developing novel methodologies for measuring the extent of weathering, once rock feedstock is applied to managed land. In addition, he is working to develop theoretical frameworks to help enhanced rock weathering suppliers quantify the relevant timescales to consider carbon credit generation.

In 2023 Jake joined Mati Carbon as Chief Science Officer. He is most excited by the prospect that Mati's research and operations are directly and quantifiably benefiting smallholder farmers.

Dr. Jordan is among the recipients of the Google Carbon Removal Research Awards in 2023.
