Samantha Pagan, Ph.D., is a patent engineer in Foley’s Intellectual Property Department and a member of the firm’s Electronic Practice group. She completed a Ph.D. in experimental physics, specializing in nuclear and particle physics, and is based in the Boston office.
Before transitioning to the legal industry, Samantha was a Graduate Researcher and Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University’s Physics Department and a member of the Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) and CUORE Upgrade with Particle Identification (CUPID) Collaborations, which are international research collaborations involving about 100 scientists. During this time, Samantha led data analyses and hardware research and development for studying dark matter and rare nuclear processes. She mentored undergraduate students on research and presented scientific findings to various audiences. Samantha also served on the Outreach Board for CUORE, working to communicate their science to broad audiences.
