Date: 11/24/2008

Professor Brent Constantz
Stanford UniversityBrent Constantz specializes in high performance and novel cements and is the inventor on over 60 issued US patents on the subject. His cements for bone fractures can be found in most operating rooms in the western world that perform orthopedic surgery. A Consulting Professor at Stanford University, Dr. Constantz also serves as CEO of Calera Corporation, a company that sequesters carbon dioxide from power plant emissions into supplementary cementitious materials, both removing the emitted carbon dioxide and displacing the carbon dioxide that Portland cement production would have generated.
