Our Team

Dr. Richard Nebel

President

Dr. Nebel is a recognized expert on Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). He spent the first 30 years of his career at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) as a Director’s post-doc, staff member, section leader, and group leader. He worked in the Controlled Thermonuclear Research (CTR), Theory (T), and Applied Theoretical Physics (X) Division. He specialized in nonlinear simulations, plasma theory, and electrostatic confinement fusion devices.

Dr. Nebel received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D degrees from the University of Illinois/Urbana-Champaign. He received honors as a James scholar, an Energy Research and Development (ERDA) trainee, and a University Fellow. His thesis advisor was Professor George Miley.

In 2007 Dr. Nebel joined Energy Matter Conversion Corporation (EMC2) as president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board of directors. He left EMC2 in 2010 and founded Tibbar Plasma Technologies (Tibbar), Inc. where he is currently the President. While at Tibbar he discovered previously unknown solutions of the MHD equations which led Tibbar to invent a simple plasma device with helical electrodes that could be used as an electrical transformer. Tibbar has demonstrated this plasma-based transformer device in the laboratory and is currently developing the concept

Dr. William Gibson

Senior Experimentalist

Dr. Gibson is a 13-year veteran of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), working first in the Nuclear Materials Technology (NMT) Division as a software engineer, and later as lead architect and software engineer for the Integrated Knowledge Engine (IKE), an advanced decision analysis tool which performed Bayesian analysis, evidence marshalling, 0ptimal-asset allocation, assessment, and accomplishment trending. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematical Analysis from the University of Houston, and both a B.S. and M.S. degree from the University of Texas at Austin.

Prior to working at LANL, Dr. Gibson worked at various aerospace companies, including Martin Marietta Astronautics Group, McDonnell Douglas, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center. At Tibbar Technologies, Dr. Gibson has been responsible for the construction of the new Shiner machine and day-to-day lab operations.

Dr. John Finn

Senior Plasma Physicist

Dr. Finn is a recognized expert in plasma physics as applied to magnetic fusion devices as well as solar and astrophysical plasmas and nonneutral plasmas. He worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for 23 years, and at the University of Maryland and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) before that. He has worked in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability and nonlinear behavior of toroidal devices, such as tokamaks, reversed field pinches and spheromaks, and in the basic theory of magnetic reconnection in laboratory, solar and astrophysical plasmas.

Mr. Keith Moser

Consultant

Mr. Moser has over 30 years experience designing, manufacturing, constructing, and operating nuclear power plants. Mr. Moser developed and manages the Innovation Process at Exelon Nuclear. Since introducing the Innovation Process in 2006, Exelon Nuclear has developed over 196 innovations that represent 1778 person-rem of radiation exposure savings, over $837 million in cost savings and a record 36 Nuclear Energy Institute Top Industry Practice Awards. As a result of Exelon’s Innovation Management results, Mr. Moser was awarded the American Nuclear Society Utility Leadership Award in August 2012.

Mr. Moser received his Bachelor of Engineering from LeTourneau University in 1980 and Masters of Business from Olivet University in 1990.

Prior to this assignment, Mr. Moser was the Exelon Nuclear Corporate Asset Manager for Reactors and Reactor Internals. In this role he developed programs, processes, and techniques for inspection, evaluation, mitigation, repair/replacements for original and uprated operations. As a result of his involvement with asset management, Mr. Moser has either been the Team Lead or Team Member on eight Nuclear Energy Institute Top Industry Practice Awards. In 2005, Mr. Moser was honored by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) as the recipient of the Nuclear Excellence Award for his innovative approaches in resolving equipment degradation problems in Budapest, Hungary.

Before joining Exelon, Mr. Moser was the Chief Inspector for Chicago Bridge and Iron Company (CB&I) and responsible for quality for nuclear, military, petrochemical, water treatment, and other fabricated product lines. While at CB&I, Keith held various other position of responsibility in design, manufacturing, and construction of nuclear power plants and nuclear Navy components. This provided invaluable experience in understanding, developing and performing asset management for heavy equipment that include steam generators, reactor/internals, pressurizers and turbine generators.
