Dr. Guenther Glatz

Dr. Glatz is the current Bishop-Rosson-Swift-Marchello Assistant Professor at Kansas University. He earned his PhD and MSc degrees in Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University in 2017 and 2012, respectively. Before joining Kansas University, Dr. Glatz served as an Assistant Professor at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia from 2017 to 2022. He also gained industry experience working with several national and international energy companies, notably as a technology consultant for the Chief Technology Office of British Petroleum (BP) and a reservoir engineer consultant for Total S.A. Additionally, he worked as a geochemist for a marine carbon dioxide removal startup in the Bay Area. Dr. Glatz’s research is focused on visualizing and quantifying subsurface-related coupled thermal, hydrological, mechanical, and chemical processes using computed tomography (CT). His work also involves applying image processing and deep learning techniques to enhance CT data quality and enable the detection of sub-voxel-level phenomena.
