      Hi! Thanks for your question.

      The largest project I have worked on is the JET fusion reactor. This is a device used to join atoms of Hydrogen together into Helium. This also produces a lot of energy which is why we hope to use similar technology as a clean energy source in future.

      JET started operations in 1983 – 15 years before I was born. I have joined very late in its life, and have only worked on a small chunk of it – but it’s great to see the effect that my work has on the overall system.
