Bio

Claudell Harvey is manager of instrumentation and controls for the US ITER Project. The I&C team is responsible for the planning, design, fabrication, and delivery of instrumentation and controls for seven systems involving the tokamak cooling water, electron cyclotron and ion cyclotron transmission lines, diagnostics, pellet injection, and vacuum auxiliary equipment. 

With more than 20 years of experience on large-scale multibillion-dollar projects for the environmental control systems industry and science facilities, Claudell joined US ITER in 2018 as a control account manager and lead engineer for instrumentation and controls for vacuum auxiliary systems. In that role, she led team development of custom radiation-hardened electronics, as well as instrumentation and controls for the cryogenics-guard vacuum system, service vacuum system, electron cyclotron heating vacuum, ion cyclotron heating vacuum, and type-2 diagnostics vacuum systems.

Before joining US ITER, Claudell served as a personnel protective service engineer for Department of Energy’s Spallation Neutron Source facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. There she supported the particle accelerator and safety systems with complex access controls, interlocks, and monitoring. She also has extensive industry leadership experience 
in environmental control systems with General Electric/Alstom Power. 

Claudell holds both a master’s and bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. She is a licensed Professional Engineer and has a certification in management.
