2025 Congressional Fellows reflect on their terms
Each year, the American Nuclear Society awards the Glenn T. Seaborg Congressional Science and Engineering Fellowship to two members. Those recipients then spend a year in Washington, D.C., contributing to the federal policymaking process by working in either a U.S. senator’s or representative’s personal office or with a congressional committee.
It has been nearly six months since the 2025 Congressional Fellows provided their midterm updates on their time on the Hill. Now, as their fellowships draw to their close, Jacob Christensen and Mike Woosley are looking back on what they accomplished, what they learned, and much more.
2022 ANS Annual Meeting
Prof. Satoshi Konishi co-founded Kyoto Fusioneering in 2019. He is responsible for technology development, as well as technology planning and strategy as Chief Fusioneer. Satoshi, who has a PhD in Engineering from the University of Tokyo, has been involved in R&D in fusion technology, advanced nuclear system design, and tritium engineering, including on the ITER project, for four decades. In his position at Kyoto University, where he is a tenured professor, Satoshi has been the Chair of the Test Blanket Program for ITER (from 2009) and has also served as the Japanese representative on the ITER committee (2012). As Director of The Institute of Sustainable Science at Kyoto University since 2008, he has also been involved in sustainability science, and has a lifelong ambition to find a solution for harmonized co-existence of humankind and the natural environment.
