Meet Our 2024 Fusion Fellows

The achievement of ignition by LLNL in December 2022 was groundbreaking. Moving beyond that to the nation’s decadal vision of commercial fusion energy will require, among other things, creating pathways and opportunities for the next generation to work in fusion. In 2023, the Foundation launched an inaugural Fusion Fellowship opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to work with the Inertial Fusion Energy team at LLNL. This summer, LLF was pleased to bring two more fusion fellows to the Lab.

The Foundation believes in creating pathways and opportunities for the next generation to work in fusion to fuel long-term success in this research area. This year, LLF launched an inaugural Fusion Fellowship for students to work on the NIF team at LLNL, with Jacob Crouch as the first fellow!
