Matt Svrcek

Matt Svrcek co-founded Mainspring (formerly EtaGen) and leads research and development as Chief Technology Officer. While completing his doctorate as a Stanford Graduate Fellow, he received funding from the Global Climate and Energy Project to investigate the efficiency and emissions impact of reacting various fuels under high compression. In performing this research, Matt collaborated with Shannon Miller to design and develop the early prototype that served as the foundation for Mainspring’s high-efficiency, linear generator technology. Prior to Mainspring, Matt served as research manager at Renewable Energy Policy Project in Washington DC, where he analyzed the economic benefits of renewable energy manufacturing. He holds a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University.
