09. ‘THIS NEW FIRE’ WITH PIETRO BARABASCHI
LISTEN ON
In our last episode from ITER, we round out season 3 with an exclusive interview with the head of ITER, Pietro Barabaschi!
John and Eva got the chance to chat to Pietro about what it’s like running an international undertaking such as ITER, and how one needs to have a special relationship to time itself when it comes to the search for nuclear fusion. Plus we also hear some great insights on problem solving.
Born in 1965 in Milan, Italy, Pietro Barabaschi, an electro-mechanical engineer by training, has dedicated virtually his entire career to fusion research. He began his tenure as Director-General of the ITER Organization in October 2022.
