Sam Dale Senior Technology Analyst
Bio
Sam Dale is a Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx, focusing primarily on advanced materials. Before joining IDTechEx, Sam graduated from Imperial College London with an MEng in Chemical Engineering, having undertaken research in such diverse areas as machine learning and data science, medical imaging, and computational fluid dynamics. He is based in London, UK.
Education
Sam was awarded an MEng degree in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London. Through his studies he gained wide-ranging engineering and technical expertise, in addition to strong analytical skills. During his degree, he carried out research in conjunction with the Turing Institute, concentrating on the development of digital twins of decontaminant sprays using computational fluid dynamics and machine learning. In addition to this, he worked on the development and commercial assessment of a novel low-carbon silicon production process and in a carbon capture pilot plant.
Academic research placements outside of Sam's degree studies included work to improve methods of processing phase-contrast MRI images, targeting improved outcomes for patients with heart disease, and data science-based development of models of multiphase fluid flow from a large industrial dataset.
Research
At IDTechEx, Sam is currently focusing on advanced materials with a specific emphasis on the electronics industry, developing expertise in manufacturing methods, product feasibilities, and the current marketplace.
Speaking at Forthcoming Events
