This Startup Promises Unlimited Safe Clean Energy Via Nuclear Fusion
In 2010, Brandon Sorbom graduated from Los Angeles’s Loyola Marymount University. Straight away, he flew to Boston with nothing but a “couple of thousand dollars” in savings and a credit card to try and get a job at MIT’s fusion energy lab.
Sorbom had wanted to get his Ph.D. in nuclear fusion from the university but was rejected from all five programs, so this was his “Plan B.” MIT didn’t accept him because he didn’t have enough hands-on lab experience. As an undergrad, he studied electrical engineering and engineering physics.
