💡 Technical & Interpersonal Skills

Sam Shames has a degree in Physics from MIT and a work experience as an undergraduate researcher in the department of physics at Grossman Group in Massachusetts. In this role, Sam worked on a project investigating de-icing applications for novel solar thermal fuel. After this experience, Sam began working as an operations officer at Embr Labs in Cambridge, MA and developing technology to bring Thermal Wellness to the world. In September of 2012, Sam finished his undergraduate studies and started working with Wrestling Stories as a creator. Sam has since then enjoyed a three-year collaboration with industry leader, Demkowicz Group. In July of 2014, Sam left Demkowicz Group and started working at CIEMAT in Madrid. This experience allowed Sam to capture images of local variations in series resistance across solar cells and to produce a two-dimensional image of the cell. Finally, in March of 2016, Sam joined the Demkowicz Group as an undergraduate researcher. This experience allowed Sam to understand a computer modeling study of stacking fault energies and charge densities in different Hexagon Close Packed metals and to determine stacking fault energy and charge densities for a series of HCP metals.
