Fusion energy has the potential to transform energy supplies for the world. At the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, researchers are developing the technologies and techniques needed to make fusion energy a reality. In this audio interview, hear how their interdisciplinary work is paving the way toward limitless energy for the future.
Featuring: Cameron Geddes, director of the Accelerator Technology & Applied Physics (ATAP) Division at Berkeley Lab. He leads the division in inventing, developing, and deploying particle accelerators, lasers, and photon sources to extend the frontiers of science, as well as systems for fusion and related areas of applied physics. His research focuses on the study of laser-driven plasma waves to create next-generation compact particle accelerators for high-energy physics and photon sources, advanced laser technologies, and high energy density science.
