ABOUT CHINMAY JOSHI

As a Process Engineer with 3+ years of experience in the nuclear and fusion engineering domain, I specialise in designing and developing advanced tritium processing and cryogenic systems for large‑scale, safety‑critical facilities. My work spans concept to detailed design across several UKAEA fusion programmes, where I’ve contributed to Tritium Handling Facilities, Outer Fuel Cycle systems, and complex thermodynamic power cycles.I bring hands‑on expertise in developing PFDs/P & IDs, equipment sizing, relief system design (API safety case preparation, and simulation using Aspen HYSYS/Plus, UniSim and HTRI. I’ve owned key tritium subsystems including Isotope Separation, Vacuum Systems and Hydrogen Purification, ensuring robust design philosophies, hazard assessments, and multidisciplinary coordination.My engineering approach combines deep technical rigour with a systems mindset: optimising cryogenic processes, analysing heat loads, performing tritium inventory assessments, and building automated tools that streamline design workflows and enhance team efficiency.Beyond project delivery, I actively contribute to engineering culture serving as an Early Careers Ambassador and co-authoring technical work presented at the Global Tritium Conference 2025.I’m passionate about advancing the future of clean energy through fusion technology and continuously growing as a technical leader in high-integrity process system design.
