Samuel Humphry-Baker is an Assistant Professor in the Ceramics Department of Materials at Imperial College London. His research group focuses on developing advanced materials for next-generation nuclear fusion reactors, specifically targeting high-performance radiation shielding materials, plasma-facing components, and high-temperature structural materials. The group aims to improve the understanding of the degradation of materials in extreme fusion reactor environments, including thermal-mechanical stresses, corrosion, and irradiation damage. By employing this understanding, they seek to optimize processing and microstructure for enhanced performance. His research spans refractory metals, structural ceramics, and associated composites. The team includes 2 post-doctoral research associates (PDRAs), 4 PhD students, and 3 Master's students, and is actively involved in collaborations with industrial partners in the nuclear energy sector, including UKAEA, Tokamak Energy, and H. C. Starck Tungsten.
