In this podcast, we discuss all things fusion technology to unpack the common misconceptions associated with fusion, delve into its current state of development and assess the impact it can and is currently having.
We speak to Shaun De Witt, Head of High-Performance Data Analytics at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), Sue Thorne, Team Leader and Computational Scientist at STFC’s Hartree Centre, and Adriano Agnello, a Senior AI Researcher also at STFC’s Hartree Centre.
