The Eisaman Lab for Carbon Removal and Clean Technologies is led by physicist Matthew Eisaman

Prof. Eisaman is an Associate Professor with tenure at Yale University in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences and the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture. He is also the Co-Founder of Ebb Carbon, a startup based in San Carlos, California, that is commercializing ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (ocean CDR) and ocean acidification reversal using electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement. 

He received a Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard in 2006 and an A.B. in Physics from Princeton in 2000. Prof. Eisaman has worked on a wide range of climate change solutions, and is broadly interested in how Earth’s natural processes can be leveraged and accelerated to minimize the worst effects of the climate crisis. His research is currently focused on ocean CDR, including: new approaches to ocean CDR; effects on marine ecosystems; establishing and improving methods for Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV); and hybrid approaches, especially the combination of ocean and geochemical CDR.

Cody Shaw

Coming from Maine, Cody started his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2020. His research is currently focused on the characterization of precipitation phenomena involved with Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement, namely Mg(OH)₂ and CaCO₃. Outside of the lab, Cody enjoys taking advantage of the many beaches on Long Island and exploring the city.

Nico Theunissen

Nico started his Ph.D. at Yale in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the Fall of 2023. His research focuses on improving Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) through the co-development of new modeling tools and fit-for-purpose sensor arrays. He completed his bachelor’s degree in applied physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. When not in the department, Nico can usually be found on or in the water.
