In addition to these student orgs, he is also an undergraduate teaching assistant helping teach Transport I and is an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Winston Ho’s group focusing on gas permeable membranes for carbon capture. In his free time, he enjoys running, cooking, reading, and spending time with friends.

This summer, he will be working for Matric, a proprietary research company in South Charleston, West Virginia. Beyond graduation, Sam hopes to use his degree in some form of sustainable engineering, either through the energy industry or in research. Congratulations again, Sam, and best of luck with senior year!
