Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Stephen is a real-time embedded software expert and former theoretical physicist who now leads the Advanced Control Unit at UKAEA, developing "Fusionics" — the avionics-like supply chain for future fusion power plants. With over 25 years bridging academic physics, control theory and hands-on engineering, he has driven real-time tokamak control systems on JET and coordinated industry–university collaborations to move fusion from R&D toward deployable technology. He combines D.Phil-level training in dynamical systems and fluid dynamics with practical experience building mission-critical embedded systems and commercial products (including large-scale video wall installations). Equally comfortable in technical leadership and business development, he focuses on turning deep scientific expertise into resilient, maintainable control architectures and industrial supply chains for fusion.
