This week the world’s fusion community suffered an unspeakable loss with the tragic death of MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro. Nuno was an exceptional physicist and the director of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center. He was a leader committed to developing fusion and educating the next generation of scientists.
There are no adequate words to express our sadness to his family, to the fusion community, and to MIT.
Nuno will be forever remembered and forever missed.
Nuno was a member of the Fusion Power Associates (FPA) Board of Directors, and at the recent 2025 Fusion Power Associates Annual Meeting, he gave an excellent and inspiring presentation.
This page at MIT provides links to the latest information and is being updated regularly.
Sincerely,
Michael Campbell, FPA President
Farhat Beg, FPA Senior Vice President
And the FPA Board
