QUANTUM LEAP ENERGY APPOINTS DR. PETER FISKE TO STRATEGIC ADVISORY BOARD
Technology Commercialization Leader Expected to Enhance QLE's Government Partnerships and Advanced Materials Strategy
DALLAS, May 6, 2026 -- ASP Isotopes Inc. (NASDAQ: ASPI) ("ASPI") today announced that Quantum Leap
Energy LLC ("QLE" or the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASPI dedicated to advancing
innovative technologies and processes across critical segments of the fission and fusion nuclear fuel cycle,
has appointed Dr. Peter S. Fiske to QLE's Strategic Advisory Board (SAB).
"QLE is intentionally building the leadership, advisory depth, and execution discipline required to scale
throughout government and commercial nuclear energy markets," said Dr. Ryno Pretorius, Chief Executive
Officer of QLE. "Dr. Fiske brings firsthand experience from the highest levels of government engagement
and technology commercialization. His perspectives will directly inform how we prioritize, engage, and
execute as demand accelerates for trusted, innovative solutions supporting U.S. and allied clean energy
missions."
Dr. Fiske brings extensive experience in technology commercialization, advanced materials development,
and strategic partnerships with government agencies and institutional customers. He was the founding
Executive Director of the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI), the U.S. Department of Energy's
5-year, $110M Energy-Water Innovation Hub at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In this role, he
oversaw early-stage applied research focused on dramatically lowering the cost and energy requirements
of water treatment and reuse through modular, scalable designs.
"I've spent my career working at the intersection of innovation, policy, and complex technical challenges,"
said Dr. Fiske. "QLE is operating in a space where trusted technology and credibility matter. I look forward
to contributing decades of experience as the Company expands its presence supporting government and
commercial decision-making with advanced nuclear fuel solutions."
The appointment comes at a pivotal moment as QLE accelerates its organizational development and
strategic initiatives, following the recent formation of its Strategic Advisory Board, the appointment of Dr.
Nate Salpeter as Chief Technology Officer, and the announcement of a strategic collaboration with the
University of Bristol for the design of a state-of-the-art lithium laser research facility in the UK. Dr. Fiske's
addition to the SAB underscores QLE's growing momentum as governments and energy sector partners
increasingly rely on advanced nuclear fuel technologies to support clean energy goals, energy security, and
mission-critical infrastructure.
About Dr. Peter S. Fiske
During his career, Dr. Fiske has served as a trusted advisor on a wide range of high-profile technology
commercialization initiatives, including matters involving energy, advanced materials, and government
funding. Previously, he served as Chief Executive Officer of PAX Water Technologies, Inc., where he
pioneered the use of biomimicry to develop innovative, energy-efficient technologies for municipal water
systems. He also co-founded RAPT Industries, Inc., a pioneer in plasma processing of optics and
semiconductors, successfully licensing technology to major semiconductor equipment manufacturers and
leading the company's first product sales.
Dr. Fiske led a research team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with applications to materials
science and energy storage, and served as a White House Fellow, working as Special Assistant to the
Secretary of Defense for Special Projects where he led a major personnel policy reform initiative for the
Pentagon. He holds a Ph.D. in Geological and Environmental Sciences from Stanford University and an
M.B.A. from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a founding
faculty member of the Department of Energy's I-Corps Program and has been widely recognized for his
strategic insight and leadership in technology entrepreneurship.
Dr. Fiske's established network within defense contracting, government procurement, and energy sector
partnerships positions him to identify critical funding opportunities through SBIR/STTR programs,
Department of Energy initiatives, and Defense Innovation Unit collaborations, while his proven track record
in government relations provides critical capabilities for building sustainable revenue pipelines with
institutional customers.
