Former Team Member
Dr.Robert W. Bussard was the inventor of the Polywell fusion approach. Received his Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton University.
Founded EMC2, with the insight that a Polywell device could generate net fusion energy by integrating a high beta magnetic cusp with a potential well.
Dr.Bussard served as technical director of EMC2 until his passing in 2007.
Former Team Member
Prof.Lapenta served as the Theory Advisor for EMC2 in developing a first-principles plasma code of Polywell devices based on his ECsim PIC model. He had 30 years of experience in plasma physics code development at LANL and KU Leuven.
Served as a leader of Applicationsat Intel Exascience Lab. PhD, Plasma Physics, Politecnico di Torino.
Former Team Member
Dr.Park served as President and Chief Technology Officer at EMC2. Received his Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton University.
He is credited with creating the computational blueprints for a Polywell fusion power reactor and a Polywell neutron generator.
