Mr Kolemann Lutz (Kole) is a researcher, entrepreneur, and educator with 5+ years of experience in planetary sciences, bioengineering, materials science, nanotechnology, space systems and settlement. During a half-year sabbatical travelling through SE Asia in Summer 2018, Kole founded Frontier Space, a space research organisation and podcast listened to in over 64 countries.
In seeking education about planet Mars throughout 2020 after his travels, Kole cofounded Mars University (MarsU) and is helping start the first MarsU academic programs. As the MSP 22 Co-Program Director, Kole founded and is helping lead the coordination for the first 2022 Mars Studies Program (MSP). By applying how recent advancements in fields contribute to becoming multiplanetary, Kole published 30+ articles and research publications and leads 15+ research projects to advance the knowledge, education, and settlement of celestial bodies. Kolemann is actively involved and cofounded four research groups: SiO2 Aerogels, Electromagnetic Research Group (EMSR), Space Handstand Research Group, and Space Neurosciences Group.
As an active Founding member in new space companies, Kolemann is passionate about blending engineering, education, creativity, and advanced research together to support your growth, research, and career. He enjoys spending his time with students and researchers on studies to design life to thrive on Mars, Venus, and the Moon. In his free time, Kole enjoys travelling, reading, scuba diving, and long-distance rides on two wheels.
