Omar Hurricane

Omar Hurricane is a Physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in the thermonuclear and inertial confinement fusion design division.[1]

Not to be confused with Hurricane Omar.

Prior to Lawrence Livermore, he worked at the UCLA Institute of Plasma & Fusion Research.

His research focuses on weapons physics, high energy density physics (HEDP) science, the theory of plasmas, and plasma instability.

He has published widely in journals and conference papers[2]

Fusion

Hurricane was the lead author of a paper presenting the results of fusion experiments demonstrating Fuel Gain greater than unity.[3][4]
