UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is pleased to congratulate Dr Lloyd Fletcher, Fusion Technology Team Lead, on being awarded a Future Leaders Fellowship by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). 

The Fellowship, with a funded value of £1.5m, was awarded to UKAEA바카라 사이트s Dr Fletcher for a project to develop a new computer-aided qualification framework called Computer Aided Validation (CAV). 

The aim of the framework is to support engineers validating designs of new technologies, including future fusion powerplants. Once completed, this framework can then be applied to a wide range of low carbon engineering solutions and contribute to enabling sustainable commercial fusion technology in the UK. 

The £104 million Future Leaders Fellowships funding is split and awarded to 68 promising leaders to develop and commercialise their projects. Dr Fletcher바카라 사이트s fellowship was awarded as part of the eighth round of this funding. 

Lloyd Fletcher said: 바카라 사이트I바카라 사이트m excited to receive this fellowship from UKRI. This project aims to deliver a valuable tool for digital design teams, and I look forward to building the research team.바카라 사이트 

Mike Gorley, Director of Fusion Technology at UKAEA said: 바카라 사이트We are delighted for Lloyd to have received this fellowship, UKAEA바카라 사이트s first Future Leaders Fellowship. The project has potential to make real impact on the commercialisation of fusion energy.바카라 사이트 

Dr Fletcher바카라 사이트s research will be supported with the £1.5m funding through the Fellowship, alongside additional in-kind support from UKAEA. 

UKRI바카라 사이트s Future Leaders Fellowships provide funding to researchers and innovators around the UK to commercialise their innovations and lead research into global issues such as energy, environmental and climate issues. 

UKAEA바카라 사이트s Fusion Technology Division focuses on the development of engineering technology for future fusion powerplants.
