Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Meehan is a scientist and scientific advisor with 11 years of experience applying high-energy physics expertise to international science diplomacy, nonproliferation, and development policy. He has worked on ATLAS and FASER at CERN searching for physics beyond the Standard Model and built data acquisition software, then translated that technical background into multilateral programs at the U.S. Department of State and IAEA engagement to promote peaceful nuclear applications. Comfortable moving between labs, policy forums, and grassroots projects, he has led training initiatives for the High Energy Physics community, designed SDG-focused isotope and radiotherapy programs, and even organized community-building efforts on a Vermont homestead. Equally at home analyzing petabytes of collider data and negotiating treaty-driven scientific cooperation, he combines rigorous technical judgment with a talent for assembling diverse international teams. His experience thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and hands-on homesteading adds resilience and practical problem-solving to his scientific and diplomatic toolkit.
