Koenraad is a leading geothermal systems engineer with expertise spanning reservoir simulation, geothermal system design, and technoeconomic analysis from early-stage feasibility to field development.

Previously, Koenraad served as Geothermal Engineering Lead at ResFrac, the industry's only fully integrated hydraulic fracturing and reservoir simulation platform used by both O&G and EGS operators. His tenure there serves as a direct bridge between the upstream industry's most demanding modeling workflows and the geothermal frontier. Prior to ResFrac, he was a research engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), where he developed GEOPHIRES, an open-source geothermal technoeconomic simulation model widely used for evaluating project economics.

Koenraad holds both an M.S. and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University, where he studied as a Fulbright Scholar, as well as a B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from KU Leuven in Belgium.
