Dr. Craig Miller's Visit
Aug 23, 2023
I had the distinct honor of hosting Dr. Craig Miller today, a pioneering expert in the field of high-voltage vacuum phenomena, such as surface flashovers and arcs. We are fortunate that he resides in close proximity to the Avalanche Energy office, where we are continually pushing the boundaries of high-voltage vacuum technologies. I am eagerly looking forward to collaborating with him and benefiting from his extensive, five-decade-long experience in this domain.
Talk at 2023 ISDEIV
June 26, 2023
I had the pleasure of presenting our most recent paper at the 2023 IEEE International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV) in Okinawa, Japan. The paper, which will be published soon, delves into our findings on the chemical impact of DC conditioning on the cathode surface in a high vacuum environment.
Podcast with Jason Cavness
May 27, 2023
I was a guest on The Jason Cavness Experience and we talked about high-voltage engineering and how it has regained its momentum after a period of stagnation. We also talked about fusion energy, my path to the United States, and many more.
Presentations at 2023 ICOPS
May 23, 2023
Our papers at the 50th IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) were presented by our CEO, Robin Langtry. The papers will be published and shared soon!

PhD Defense
Jan 20, 2022
A journey has come to an end! I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully defended my Ph.D. dissertation at Virginia Tech titled "Partial Discharges: Experimental Investigation, Model Development, and Data Analytics". I hope to continue learning and contributing to the advancement of human society, ensuring a bright future for our next generations.
Joined Avalanche Energy!
Jan 3, 2022
I am beyond excited to join Avalanche Energy. Collaborating on the development of a micro fusion reactor, called the Orbitron, as a peaceful, unlimited energy source, driven by cutting-edge high voltage technology, is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.
