Today we announced a collaboration to build the first digital twin of a stellarator fusion power plant that leverages world leading AI physics and engineering with NVIDIA, Synopsys Inc, Argonne National Laboratory and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).
Brian Berzin is the Co-Founder and CEO of Thea Energy ( https://thea.energy/ ), a next-generation fusion company focused on advancing stellarator technology—one of the most promising but historically underexplored approaches to magnetic confinement fusion. Brian brings a unique combination of deep technical and financial expertise, with a background spanning electrical engineering, venture capital, private equity, and investment banking. Prior to founding Thea Energy, Brian served as Vice President of Strategy at General Fusion, where he helped shape commercialization strategy and led engagement with global capital markets during a pivotal period for privately funded fusion. At Thea Energy, Brian is leading efforts to “end the sun’s monopoly on fusion energy” by leveraging breakthroughs in high-temperature superconducting materials and advanced computational design to build more stable and scalable fusion systems. In 2023, the company was selected as one of a small group of awardees in the U.S. Department of Energy’s milestone-based fusion development program. Brian holds dual degrees in Electrical Engineering and Finance from Lehigh University, reflecting the interdisciplinary mindset he now applies to one of the hardest engineering challenges in the world: making fusion power a commercial reality.
Thea Energy has announced it has raised $100M in Series B funding!
