The Team and Technology for an Energy Abundant World

Managing Director of HB11 Energy, Warren McKenzie, PhD (Materials Science / Nanotechnology) is a science entrepreneur, materials scientist and Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales. He has held two post-doctorate research positions, at Trinity College in Dublin and at the University of NSW.

A former media executive, policy advisor, and technology investor, Greg’s expertise is in building organisations as they grow from $0 to $100 million. As Senior VP at AMC Networks in New York, Greg launched TV service, AMC+ (amcplus.com) alongside leading a team managing 35 ad-supported TV streaming apps. Earlier in his career he ran a health services business in New York, and for 2.5 years worked as a policy advisor in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in Australia.

Prof. Mehlhorn leads HB11 Energy’s theoretical physics effort, developing our understanding of fusion ignition and burn. Prof. Mehlhorn is an Adjunct Professor at the Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences Department, University of Michigan

Dr. Belloni is a key contributor in HB11 Energy’s fuel physics program as a technical consultant. Dr.  Belloni also serves as the Head of the Fusion Research Sector at the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission. Additionally, he holds the position of Visiting Fellow at the Department of Engineering of UNSW Sydney, Australia.

Dr. Tabak is a key contributor in HB11 Energy’s fuel physics program. He is  broadly experienced and a highly esteemed expert in inertial fusion physics. He is a  winner of the Edward Teller Award in 2005, and joint winner of the John Dawson Award in 2006. Max’s manuscript, Ignition and High Gain with Ultrapowerful Lasers, is the #1 most cited in the history of laser fusion.

Dr. Morozov directs HB11 Energy’s fuel physics analytics and  simulations; particle-in-cell modeling and  hydrodynamic modeling. Dr. Morozov is an experience team leader in computational plasma physics and thermodynamics.

Prof. Kuehl leads HB11 Energy’s laser R&D program in Adelaide with a focus on reliable pulse compression technology. Thomas is a highly respected leader globally for his work building and operating world-leading high-power laser infrastructure.

Prof. Dimitri is a central figure in the field of proton-Boron fusion, particularly in Europe, and chairs the Scientific Advisory Board of HB11 Energy. Professor Batani also holds a position at The Intense Lasers and Applications Center (CELIA) at the University of Bordeaux where he’s conducting research in Plasma Physics, notably the study of Shock Ignition physics for inertial confinement fusion.

Prof. Hoffmann’s research interest is high energy density physics, proton-Boron fusion astroparticle physics and  stopping of Ions in ionized matter.

Across  40-year career, Mike Campbell become an internationally known expert in inertial confinement fusion (ICF), high-energy-density physics, high-powered lasers and their applications, and advanced energy technologies. He was the Director of University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics from 2017 to 2021.

Dr. Daniele Margarone serves as Director of Research and Operations of ELI Beamlines, one the world’s foremost physics and materials research  laboratories, hosting some of the most intense lasers in the world.
