Dr. Keith LeChien is CTO of Pacific Fusion.
Keith is an internationally recognized leader in pulser-driven inertial fusion science and technology.
He was previously the leader of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s high-energy density physics program and lead target designer for inertial fusion experiments at the Z Facility. Prior to his work at LLNL, he oversaw the Inertial Confinement Fusion Program for the Department of Energy and was the federal lead author of the multi-year scientific framework that led to ignition at the National Ignition Facility.
Before joining the DOE, Keith was a principal staff member in advanced accelerator physics at Sandia National Laboratories.
