Manager, Cyber Physical Systems

Kairos Power

Dr. Christopher Poresky is the Manager of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in the Instrumentation, Controls, & Electrical (IC&E) Department at Kairos Power. The CPS team designs and maintains Kairos human-machine interfaces, datalogging and communications infrastructure, and operations and maintenance strategies for Kairos test systems big and small including the Kairos Power Fluoride-Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR) design. These products empower the Kairos team to learn from its design, build, and test activities in real time and feed learnings into next iterations so that the KP-FHR can provide clean, affordable energy.

Previously, Dr. Poresky was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. He obtained a Ph.D. and M.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley as well as a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey – New Brunswick.
