Dr. Richard Kembleton has been working in fusion physics for over 20 years, starting with a PhD in fusion materials at Cambridge University. He then joined UKAEA (UK Atomic Energy Authority) where he was a member of the Power Plant Technology Group and worked on DEMO, power plant designs, and fusion economics. Dr. Kembleton joined EUROfusion in Garching in 2018 to manage the Prospective R&D programme aimed at realising technology for commercialisation, and then joined Gauss Fusion in 2023 where he now acts as the CSO. --- Dr. Samuel Lazerson has a B.S. in Engineering Physics from Emby-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach Florida, and a Ph.D. in Space Physics from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. He has worked on stellarator physics for 15 years as a researcher at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald. He's conducted research on the Large Helical Device, HSX, CNT, DIII-D, NSTX, ITER, and W7-X. In May of last year Samuel joined Gauss Fusion as the stellarator physics lead.
