Over the past decade, Greg Rieker has led the technical team transitioning Nobel-prize-winning frequency comb laser technology from a complex laboratory device to an automated, regional-scale methane leak detection system. The team formed LongPath Technologies, Inc. to commercialize the system into the first broadly scalable continuous monitoring system for oil and gas infrastructure. Through the ARPA-E SCALEUP program, LongPath and its industry partners a 1000 square mile continuous monitoring network in the active oil and gas production regions of the western US. The network reduces methane emissions in the monitored region by 60+%. Greg Rieker is Co-founder and CTO of LongPath Technologies, Inc. and a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. His work garnered the Colorado governor’s award for high-impact research, and induction as a senior member to the National Academy of Inventors.
