MIFTI Fusion originated the staged Z-pinch approach to fusion, using pulsed power to drive a liner implosion onto a target as a pathway toward net energy gain. Our approach can be implemented on compact pulsers using existing technology to create a practical and scalable pathway toward fusion energy.

We are focused on advancing this approach from experimental validation through engineering development and, ultimately, commercialization — with the goal of providing clean, abundant, and economically viable energy.

MIFTI Fusion is advised by leaders across fusion, pulsed power, plasma physics, and particle physics, including Michael Campbell, Special Advisor, Co-Director of the Fusion Engineering Institute at UC San Diego, and former Director of the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester; Robert Rosner, Chair of the Science Advisory Board, William E. Wrather Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, former President of the American Physical Society, and former Director of Argonne National Laboratory; Farhat Beg, Co-Director of the Fusion Engineering Institute and Director of the Center for Matter Under Extreme Conditions at UC San Diego, and Senior Editor of IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science; Rick Spielman, former Chief Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories; Sasha Velikovich, former Senior Scientist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory; and Jonathan Feng, Distinguished Professor at UC Irvine.
