Chief Technology Officer & Co-Founder
Boruch Epstein is the Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Laurelin Technologies Inc., leading the company's technical innovation and research strategy in fusion energy materials.
As a DPhil candidate in Materials Science at the University of Oxford with specialization in reactor wall materials, Boruch brings cutting-edge research expertise directly to Laurelin's technological development.
Boruch's doctoral research addresses one of the most critical challenges in fusion energy: developing materials that can withstand the extreme conditions inside fusion reactors. Reactor wall materials must endure:
Advanced expertise in materials for extreme environments, particularly fusion reactor components
Deep understanding of fusion reactor design, plasma-wall interactions, and engineering constraints
Leading cutting-edge research at Oxford, one of the world's premier materials science programs
Architecting Laurelin's technical infrastructure and AI-driven materials optimization systems
Boruch's vision centers on the critical insight that fusion energy's success depends not just on achieving plasma confinement, but on developing materials capable of maintaining structural integrity under unprecedented conditions. AI-driven materials discovery and optimization are key to accelerating this traditionally slow process.
"Fusion reactors demand materials that don't yet exist at scale. By applying AI to materials science, we can compress decades of trial-and-error into years of intelligent iteration—that's how we'll build reactors that actually work."
As CTO, Boruch oversees Laurelin's technical strategy, ensuring the company remains at the forefront of fusion materials research while building practical AI tools that accelerate discovery. His academic research directly informs product development, creating a unique bridge between fundamental research and commercial application.
