His research, titled “Synthesis and Additive Manufacture of Piezoelectric Ceramic Scaffolds for Tissue and Neural Regeneration,” was supervised by Dr Thanos Goulas and Dr Sina Saremi-Yarahmadi, both members of the Advanced Ceramics Research Group at Loughborough University.
Sam's project explored the development of piezoelectric ceramic scaffolds; materials with the potential to enhance tissue and neural regeneration through their electrical properties. His innovative work merges bioengineering and advanced ceramics, offering promising insights for future medical applications.
Following the award, Dr Thanos Goulas said: “Sam’s achievement reflects both his dedication, and the innovative research environment fostered by the Advanced Ceramics Research Group.
“The Henry Royce Institute’s support played a crucial role in enabling this important research, which could have far-reaching implications for healthcare advancements.”
