Troels is a radical pragmatist who unintentionally became an impact entrepreneur and CEO. While earning his PhD in neutron physics in 2015 working with advanced neutron moderators, Troels co-founded Seaborg Technologies together with two friends from the physicist study. They developed their own technology and in 2015 the young company had their first reactor design ready: The Compact Molten Salt Reactor. He had since then managed to attract investors and to build a company of 110 people from all over the world.
