Paris Smalls

Eden GeoPower

Chief Executive Officer

Paris received his Ph.D. in Geophysics from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program. He earned his B.S. from the University of South Carolina in Geophysics. He is a member of the Einstein Rock Mechanics Group at MIT, where his research is focused on conducting laboratory experiments to study the effects of high-voltage electricity on decreasing rock strength for applications in enhanced geothermal systems, geologic hydrogen, and unconventional reservoirs. He co-founded Eden in 2017 and leads the development of the company’s core electrical stimulation technology and go-to-market strategy.

    TechEnergy Ventures | Using Tech Advancements to Make Geothermal Cheaper and More Available

    To make geothermal relevant in the energy transition, we need to drill deep enough to get an attractive rock temperature, to harvest the heat of that rock, and to efficiently convert it to electricity.  TechEnergy Ventures is supporting Quaise Energy, a start-up (MIT spinout) developing a drilling tech using a cutting-edge Millimeter-Wave (MMW) electromagnetic beam to dive into depths of ultra deep geothermal, and Eden GeoPower, a Massachusetts-based reservoir simulation technology company developing a groundbreaking electro-hydraulic fracturing technology to increase fluid permeability.
