Tripp Fulmer is the team leader for port integration related to US diagnostic scope. The US is responsible for two upper ports (#11 and #14) and two equatorial ports (#3 and #9). The scope of this effort includes integration of multiple diagnostic systems from multiple ITER Domestic Agencies into these port plugs.
Tripp joined the US ITER project in 2021 as a project engineer contributing to both the tokamak exhaust processing system and the vacuum auxiliary system. His role required attention to technical requirements and vendor schedules to build a viable plan to meet project schedule and budget targets. Tripp was introduced to the project through his work with Superbolt, Inc. where he contributed to the successful completion of a contract for US ITER central solenoid tensioning components.
Over the prior 8 years, Tripp held a variety of roles at Superbolt, including as an application engineer, project manager, and customer support and projects manager. He is skilled at leading teams to support the process, engineering and client services tasks that are essential to achieve client goals. In his roles at US ITER, he has been dedicated to building on lessons learned from Superbolt for successful oversight of contracts for prototype and production components and to preparing for an updated project baseline.
Tripp holds a BS in mechanical engineering from Clemson University.
