Hello Everyone,
My name is Dr. Matt Moynihan. I got a PhD working on subsystems for the National Ignition Facility in 2013. From 2006 to 2013 I was a PhD student working at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics. My thesis was chaired by Riccardo Betti, winner of the 2012 Edward Teller award.
I started following the Polywell and fusors in 2008. At that time, I could not openly talk about my interest in this topic, as the Lab discouraged the IEC field as a "Waste of time".
Hence, I founded "The Polywell Blog" under the pen name John Smith in October 2009. I worked from 9 to 5 on my PhD and spent nights and weekends developing the blog.
To date I have created:
15 films on the polywell
36 Posts on fusors, polywells, fusion, ect..
2 dozen Wikipedia articles on fusion
