Established in 2008, Magneto-Inertial Fusion Technologies, Inc. (MIFTI) represents a convergence of visionary physicists and astute business leaders, united by a singular mission: to revolutionize the realm of fusion energy. Our journey began with an audacious goal – to harness the transformative potential of thermonuclear fusion for generating electricity. At MIFTI, we are not just dreaming of a sustainable energy future; we are actively shaping it.
Our innovative approach to fusion energy technology is not just a concept but a tangible pursuit. By partnering with leading universities and esteemed national laboratories, we delve into the intricate worlds of experimental, theoretical, and computational physics. These collaborations form the backbone of our research and development efforts, propelling us forward in our quest.
At the heart of our endeavor lies the pursuit of Magneto-Inertial Fusion (MIF). This advanced technique focuses on achieving high-energy density plasma states – a crucial step towards sustainable and efficient fusion-based nuclear energy. Our commitment to MIF research underlines our dedication to not just participating in the energy industry but leading it towards a groundbreaking direction.
MIFTI is more than a company; it’s a beacon of innovation in the nuclear fusion energy sector. We are driven by the promise of a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable energy future. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey, where science meets vision, and possibilities become realities.
Welcome to Magneto-Inertial Fusion Technologies, Inc. – where fusion energy’s future is being forged today.
Gerald Simmons, our Executive Chairman and CEO, brings a wealth of experience from the high-tech sector. As the former President of MOS International, he led a team developing cutting-edge hardware and software solutions, spearheading initiatives across manufacturing, product development, and marketing. His leadership was pivotal in achieving profitability and sustainable growth.
Simmons’ entrepreneurial spirit shone through as an early investor in Immune Response, a venture by Dr. Jonas Salk, the renowned polio vaccine discoverer. His investment acumen extends to various successful start-ups, including Data Pac Systems and Stamps.Com, guiding them from inception to IPOs or sales. With a knack for strategic partnerships, he has worked with tech giants like IBM, Sony Corp., and Hewlett Packard, and co-founded Tri-Alpha Energy, contributing significantly to its early funding and growth.
Dr. Hafiz Ur Rahman, our President and Chief Scientist, is a distinguished figure in plasma physics with over three decades of expertise in fusion energy and space physics. His prolific career spans teaching, research, and leadership roles in both industry and academia.
His research, covering experimental, theoretical, and computational physics, has significantly advanced our understanding of dense Z pinches, space plasma structures, and plasma beam propagation. As the director of the Space Simulation Laboratory at IGPP, he led numerous projects funded by NASA, NSF, US Air Force, DOE, and NRL. His work on staged Z-pinch research has been particularly influential. Dr. Rahman’s academic credentials are impressive, with a Ph.D. in physics under the prestigious DAAD scholarship program. His contributions to the field are reflected in over 70 published papers and multiple patents. MIFTI synergistically combines the best features of Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF) and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF), making fusion energy not only easier to demonstrate but also significantly more cost-effective than other approaches. Our MIFTI technology ensures that the core plasma remains stable until peak implosion, surrounded by a strong magnetic field that retains alpha particles. This results in the ignition of the core plasma and a net gain in fusion energy.
Arshad Mohammad, our COO and CFO, is a strategic leader with over 30 years of experience in the Retail and High-tech industries. His ability to leverage executive networks and bring innovative solutions to the global market is unparalleled.
Before joining MIFTI, Mohammad led GTT International, Inc., significantly boosting its revenue growth. His strategic planning and operational expertise have been instrumental in introducing groundbreaking products in major retail stores like Macy’s and Target.
Mohammad’s educational background includes an MBA in International Business from Florida International University and an MBA in Management Information Systems from Quaid-I-Azam University, complemented by a B.S. in Accounting.
Together, our management team combines a unique blend of technical expertise, business acumen, and visionary leadership. We are committed to leading MIFTI towards groundbreaking achievements in thermonuclear fusion, setting new standards in sustainable and clean energy production. Our team’s diverse skills and experience are the driving force behind our mission to transform the energy landscape.
