Tell us about your background and what brought you to ARPA-E. I joined ARPA-E from the University of Maryland where I have taught in the Department of Mechanical Engineering since 1998. I have always been interested in ARPA-E because my primary field of research is in the thermosciences (heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics.) Given ARPA-E’s visibility and funding ability, what better place is there to serve and have a chance to have an outsized impact on our energy use and infrastructure?
Realta Fusion is applying new superconducting technology to a well-known fusion concept: the magnetic mirror
On May 31, 2023, ARPA-E awardee Realta Fusion raised $9 million in seed funding for their compact magnetic mirror fusion technology in a round led by Khosla Ventures. This is in addition to an award from the Department of Energy’s Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program for up to $3M aimed at driving forward commercial fusion energy development.
