Unlocking unlimited clean power for humanity through artificial intelligence

Laurelin Technologies is revolutionizing fusion energy through artificial intelligence. Named after Tolkien's golden tree of Valinor—the mythical source of light—we're bringing the power of the sun to Earth through breakthrough AI applications.
Founded by Joseph Finberg (Joe Finberg), our central thesis is clear: advanced AI will enable the breakthrough needed to make fusion produce net positive energy for the first time in human history. We're not making incremental improvements—we're solving fusion.
Laurelin addresses humanity's greatest challenges: energy independence, climate change mitigation, and reducing geopolitical conflicts. Fusion energy means unlimited clean power for every nation on Earth.
Laurelin Technologies Inc., founded by Joseph S. Finberg (also known as Joe Finberg), combines world-class AI research with deep fusion energy expertise. Headquartered in New York City with research operations at the University of Oxford, our team brings together the best minds in plasma physics, materials science, quantitative analysis, and artificial intelligence.
Our approach is fundamentally different: while traditional fusion research relies on decades-long iterative experiments, Laurelin leverages cutting-edge AI to accelerate discovery in plasma control, reactor materials optimization, and gyrokinetic turbulence prediction. This isn't about waiting for fusion—it's about engineering it through intelligent systems.
The name "Laurelin" comes from Tolkien's Legendarium—one of the Two Trees of Valinor that illuminated the world before the sun existed. Just as Laurelin was a source of golden light and life, our company aims to bring fusion energy—the same process that powers our sun—to transform civilization. Joseph Finberg and his co-founders chose this name to represent their vision: harnessing the fundamental power of the universe through human ingenuity and artificial intelligence.
