Dr Samuel Guerin is a Principal Knowledge Transfer Fellow within the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ.
Samuel is leading the Material Innovation Laboratory (MiLab) facility.
Samuel studied physics in Tours (France) and material science in Bordeaux (France), then came to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ to study for a PhD, joining the surface science and electrochemistry groups.
After a PDRA position (¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ), he took up a position as experimental officer to support the start of the Material Combinatorial Centre. This led to the development of the HT-ePVD technique which enabled high-throughput thin film material synthesis and exploration. This led to co-founding Ilika Technologies Ltd in 2004. From 2006 until 2023 he remained at Ilika, becoming a technical director and participating in many technological developments in high-throughput and thin film material research.
In December 2023, he returned to the University to oversee the restructuring of the high-throughput material research facilities and the start of the Material Innovation Laboratory.
