Brian is an Associate in Wiggin and Dana’s Intellectual Property department, where he leverages his extensive scientific background to assist clients with complex technologies across the physical sciences, life sciences, and computing and artificial intelligence sectors. He is experienced in U.S. and global patent strategy, including patent drafting and prosecution, and is admitted to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Prior to becoming an Associate, Brian served for several years as a Patent Agent at Wiggin and Dana, following his postdoctoral associate position in the Department of Chemistry and Energy Sciences Institute at Yale University. His technical background is in materials chemistry and physics, particularly in utilizing time-resolved laser spectroscopy techniques in the synchrotron hard X-ray, UV/Visible, and terahertz energy regimes to investigate materials such as semiconductors and conductive soft materials relevant to solar energy, photocatalysis, sensing, and electronic applications. In addition to these areas, and further drawing on his B.S. in biochemistry, Brian routinely handles technologies in the small molecule and biologic pharmaceutical, medical device, medical diagnostic, chemical, materials science, physics, and artificial intelligence spaces.

Brian has authored or co-authored numerous academic publications, including 30 peer-reviewed publications in top-tier journals such as Nature Communications, Chemical Reviews, Journal of the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Chemical Science, among others.

Brian earned his J.D., cum laude, from the Western New England University School of Law where he held an executive position as the Senior Articles Editor of the Western New England Law Review. He received his Ph.D. in Physical and Materials Chemistry from Marquette University and his B.S., cum laude, in Biochemistry from Carroll University.
