About Oxford Sigma

Our History

Oxford Sigma is an internationally recognised advanced materials fusion technology company. Formed in early 2019 to address producing sustainable advanced materials for fusion energy commercial deployment by Co-Founders Dr Thomas P. Davis and Jonathan Musgrove. We are proud of our heritage which stems from both the University of Oxford and Oxford city, where our headquarters are based.

Our Belief

We believe fusion energy could become the ultimate terrestrial energy source for our future because it promises to have near-limitless fuel supply, release no carbon emissions at source, and provide the energy demand to lift the world out of energy poverty. 

Our Vision

Our vision is to accelerate fusion energy to become commercial; we focus on areas that we see are enablers for this, such as leading international standardisation of fusion components, producing key advanced materials for fusion core applications, and strategy leaders in materials for fusion.

Our Approach

At our heart we strive for practical, yet ambitious, targets in fusion materials selection that is fusion-approach agnostic. We use this pragmatism and integrity at our core to ensure we arrive at sound design choices, advanced materials systems, and strategies that enable both ourselves and key partners to reach the quickest route to de-risking fusion deployment.

We do not look for perfect solutions, we look for the right solution.
