Conner Galloway ’04 attended Casady School from PreK through graduation, becoming the first Casady alumnus in more than four decades to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). While at MIT, he distinguished himself as an exceptional student, earning the Irving Kaplan Award for Outstanding Student in Nuclear Engineering during his junior year.
Conner graduated from MIT in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Nuclear Engineering and a Master of Science degree in Nuclear Science and Engineering. During his time at MIT, he also conducted research at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Following graduation, he was offered admission to MIT’s prestigious Ph.D. program and awarded a fully sponsored fellowship from the National Nuclear Security Administration. Instead, he chose to pursue industry innovation, joining an ICF (Inertial Confinement Fusion) research company, Innoven Energy.
At Innoven, Conner served as Head of Target Design, leading the development of advanced radiation hydrodynamic simulation codes and fusion target designs. His work resulted in multiple U.S. patents and helped advance the field of fusion energy research.
In 2016, Conner transitioned into the medical technology and artificial intelligence sector, joining AliveCor, a pioneering healthcare technology company. There, he helped develop the groundbreaking KardiaMobile device, a personal electrocardiogram (ECG) technology that has since generated more than $500 million in sales and transformed how patients monitor heart health.
Driven by a vision for the future of clean energy, Conner left AliveCor in 2020 to assemble a team dedicated to advancing laser fusion technology. That effort led to the founding of Xcimer Energy in 2022, where he currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer.
Under Conner's leadership, Xcimer Energy has emerged as one of the leading companies in the race to commercialize fusion energy. The company collaborates with world-renowned institutions, including the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Colorado State University, the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since its founding, Xcimer has secured more than $165 million in Series A funding and received a $9 million award through the U.S. Department of Energy's Fusion Milestone Program—one of the largest awards granted through the initiative.
Today, Xcimer employs more than 150 engineers, physicists, and support professionals in Denver, Colorado, all working toward a bold goal: developing the world's most powerful laser systems to deliver safe, clean, and virtually limitless energy for future generations.
Throughout his career, Conner has been credited with 19 issued U.S. patents, spanning nuclear science, cardiology, and artificial intelligence. Beyond his professional achievements, he remains devoted to his lifelong passion for classical piano. He and his wife, Anya Venezia Galloway, M.D., are the proud parents of their daughter, Charlotte.
