Mathis Heyer

Mathis Heyer is pursuing a Ph.D. in Energy Science & Engineering at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in process systems engineering from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, as well as a master’s degree in management science and engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing.

His research at Stanford focuses on around advancing the understanding of complex energy and process systems through mathematical modeling and optimization. In the Environmental Assessment & Optimization Group he co-develops the BRIDGES macro-energy system model with an emphasis on flexible load shifting, industrial decarbonization, and transportation. Mathis' work builds on his previous research experiences at the Climate Policy Lab at ETH Zurich and the Sustainable Reaction Engineering Group at Cambridge University. Outside of his academic pursuits, Mathis volunteered with organizations such as "Engineers Without Borders" and "Europe Meets School" both involved in promoting intercultural exchange.

Mathis has been recognized as a Klaus-Murmann Fellow by the Foundation of German Business (sdw) while at RWTH Aachen and is currently an ERP Fellow with the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and a recipient of the SGF Fellowship.
