Tech Talk: Inside the Race to Commercial Fusion

​Part of Cornell NiCE’s How Nuclear Affects You speaker series.

Fusion went from “can it work?” to “can we make it affordable?” Now the race is on, and it needs more than physicists.

​Join Keith LeChien, Co-Founder and CTO of Pacific Fusion to hear what we’re building and how you can be part of it.

​What you’ll hear

• ​Why fusion is finally having its moment

• ​Our pulser-driven, modular approach

• ​2026 milestones and what’s next

​Who should come
Undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. No fusion background needed.
