He coordinates and teaches into human physiology, exercise physiology and resistance training units.

His research investigates the applications of wearable technology (GPS & accelerometers namely) in collision-based team sports. Sam previously completed his doctoral research with the Melbourne Rebels (Super 18 Rugby union team) and the Melbourne Rising (National Rugby Championship team) being the sport scientist for both teams. He is also involved in several learning and teaching related research investigations.

Previous honours research focused on the effects of Beta-alanine and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) on cycling performance in highly-trained cyclists with the Sports Performance Optimization Research Team (SPORT) - University of Tasmania.
