Dr. Samuel H. Hales is an Assistant Professor of Manufacturing Engineering, specializing in ceramic vat photopolymerization and multimaterial direct ink writing. He received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from BYU as well as an M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Utah. His doctoral research focused on the development, characterization, and application of nanomaterial additive manufacturing processes in the creation of novel devices, such as biomedical sensors and plant wearable electronics. After completing his Ph.D., he performed postdoctoral work as a materials research engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he developed a research grade test material for the rheological characterization of ceramic additive manufacturing feedstocks. His current research interests include further development of ceramic additive manufacturing materials and processes, as well as the creation of a variety of printed devices.
