Sam joined the House group in October 2026 under the co-supervision of Dr Georgina Gregory. He is a member of the Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing Centre for Doctoral Training (IMAT CDT). His research focuses on developing polymer electrolytes for rechargeable solid-state Mg-ion batteries.

Previously, Sam graduated from the University of Bristol with an MSci degree in Chemistry (2026). His masters project focused on developing porous MOF@COF heterostructures for the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to methanol, supervised by Dr Sanjit Nayak. He was also a part of the 2025 JRCF studentship intake at the University of Oxford in which he developed dual ionic- and electronic conducting polymers supervised by Dr Georgina Gregory.
