Michl Binderbauer is Chief Executive Officer of TAE Technologies.

Born in Austria, Michl emigrated to the United States and first joined TAE as Chief Technology Officer in
1998. He is a co-inventor of many of the company’s technological advances in fusion, power management, and particle accelerators, and was appointed CEO in 2018.

TAE was founded to commercialize a completely safe, sustainable, non-radioactive source of carbon-free energy, capable of meeting humanity’s growing energy needs without impacting the environment.

TAE operates on a "money-by-milestone" basis driven by the work of more than 500 experienced employees. The company has been granted more than 1,400 patents and has developed six generations
of National Laboratory-scale devices.

Over the last two decades, Michl has evolved TAE into an industry leader in fusion and expanded the
company’s technology portfolio to include power management and energy storage solutions for electric
mobility, grid efficiency, and fast charging. Together, these innovations form the backbone of an electrified
clean energy ecosystem.

Michl holds many U.S. and international technology patents. He has published papers in the world’s
leading peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Physical Review Letters, Nature Communications and
more.

Michl earned a Ph.D. in physics from UC Irvine, under the guidance of fusion energy pioneer, Dr. Norman
Rostoker.
