About

Tommi Jokinen is a researcher specializing in advanced fusion energy technologies, with a particular focus on the engineering challenges of the ITER project. His key research areas include remote handling systems, welding and cutting processes for nuclear fusion reactors, and the development of maintenance tools for extreme environments. Jokinen's most notable contribution is his work on the ITER lip seal welding and cutting developments, a critical component for ensuring the vacuum integrity of the fusion reactor's containment structures. His 2015 paper on this subject, which has garnered 5 citations, demonstrates the foundational engineering solutions required for the world's largest tokamak. While his citation count reflects the niche and highly specialized nature of his field, Jokinen's work is instrumental in advancing the practical implementation of fusion energy, addressing the unique demands of in-vessel component maintenance and repair. His research supports the broader goal of making fusion a viable energy source, highlighting his role in solving complex, real-world engineering problems within one of the most ambitious scientific projects of the 21st century.
