Oct 2025 — Present · Emeryville, CA, US
I lead 1cFE, a cost-first fusion energy initiative at Astera. We’re testing whether fusion can reach sub-1¢/kWh within ten years. Using frontier backcasting, we work backward to uncover what must be true in physics, engineering, and manufacturing to achieve abundant sub-cent power. We map the fastest corridors, publish open analyses, and apply AI to compress cycles across science, engineering, and production.1cf.energy
