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).聽

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

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.聽

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

Lloyd Fletcher said: 鈥淚鈥檓 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.鈥澛�

Mike Gorley, Director of Fusion Technology at UKAEA said: 鈥淲e are delighted for Lloyd to have received this fellowship, UKAEA鈥檚 first Future Leaders Fellowship. The project has potential to make real impact on the commercialisation of fusion energy.鈥澛�

Dr Fletcher鈥檚 research will be supported with the 拢1.5m funding through the Fellowship, alongside additional in-kind support from UKAEA.聽

UKRI鈥檚 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.聽

UKAEA鈥檚 Fusion Technology Division focuses on the development of engineering technology for future fusion powerplants.聽
