Congratulations to Senior Scientist Roelof Groenewald, Science Fellow Dan Barnes and the rest of the TAE team on winning a 2025 INFUSE Award!
This @U.S. Department of Energy research grant will support TAE’s work with a new algorithm that can perform higher fidelity simulations of plasma behavior — capturing crucial, previously unseen details that will advance our development of a cost-effective fusion machine.
The algorithm is an upgraded Darwin model, enhanced by TAE Science Fellow Dan Barnes to run faster and in 3D. TAE will partner with @Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to implement this new approach into the open-source code, WarpX, and use it to simulate plasma performance in our current machine.
As a company founded out of @UC Irvine, we’re proud to continue our tradition of intentional public-private partnership to deliver the cleanest and safest commercial fusion power. Thank you to the DOE for investing in the future of fusion, and thank you to our LBNL colleagues for their collaboration!
