Dr. Clayton Myers is a plasma physicist and fusion energy scientist who presently leads the Magnetohydrodynamic Interfaces team at Commonwealth Fusion Systems, tackling integrated physics and engineering challenges on the SPARC tokamak. Clayton also led the development of the in-vessel diagnostic systems for SPARC. He holds a B.S. in Engineering Physics from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton University. Clayton’s career in plasma physics has spanned both fusion energy and laboratory plasma astrophysics, with the former including pulsed-power-driven inertial fusion experiments at Cornell University and Sandia National Laboratories as well as magnetically confined fusion experiments at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and now Commonwealth Fusion Systems.
