Noah (they/them) in their 3rd year of their PhD in physics, Their research focuses on experimental high energy particle physics, specifically neutrinos and weak force interactions. They grew up in Texas and moved to Oregon to attend OSU. Growing up in a right-to-work state means CGE is their first experience working in a labor union, but they worked in other collective movements like cooperative housing in Austin where they were board president at a 200 member co-op for a time. In the spare time they can find, they enjoy film photography, painting and designing murals, and making a nice cup of tea.
