Teams at Focused Energy (focused-energy.co)

Lead theoretical and simulation work for beam smoothing and laser-plasma interaction (LPI). Coordinate beam and target requirements, support DUED implementation, provide LPI simulation/theory for experiments, partner with laser, beam smoothing, diagnostics, and target teams to mitigate LPI risk and shape fusion roadmap.

Lead theoretical and simulation work on laser-plasma interaction (LPI) and beam smoothing. Translate laser system capabilities into target physics requirements, define beam/picket/port requirements, support DUED implementation, provide LPI theory for experiments and simulations, and collaborate across laser, beam smoothing, target design, diagnostics, and physics teams to mitigate LPI risk and imprint/hydrodynamic instabilities.

Manage and coordinate science R&D projects across experimental facilities and simulation efforts. Translate technical goals into plans, maintain Jira/Confluence schedules, track risks/issues, coordinate cross-functional teams, and report status to PMO and stakeholders.
