  • Sir John Roy Sambles FRS HonFInstP (born 1945) is an English experimental physicist and a former President of the Institute of Physics. Sambles, originally from Callington in Cornwall, studied physics at Imperial College, London, gaining his BSc and PhD degrees there, and has since published over 550 papers in international journals. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in May 2002. Sambles is currently Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Exeter, he has a long and distinguished career researching the interaction of light with matter. His group at Exeter have studied a wide range of systems including: liquid crystal devices; iridescent butterfly wings; surface plasmons and microwave photonics. These studies have applications in liquid crystal displays for televisions and computer displays, highly sensitive detection of materials (e.g. for medical diagnosis), and optical and microwave communication. In 2008, he was appointed to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Sambles was knighted in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to scientific research and outreach. He had 3 children with his wife Sandy Sambles, they had Nena Sambles now (Nena Yendell) Ivan Sambles and Gavin Sambles. They now have 4 grandchildren. Ivan and his wife had Libby and Anna Sambles, Nena and her husband had Matthew and Daniel Yendell. Sambles is a Methodist local preacher and has served in that capacity for over 30 years, preaching in the Ringsash Methodist Circuit in Mid Devon. (en)
