Art Davydov is a recent BSc Astronomy UBC graduate working as a summer researcher with the CGEM group. His summer work concentrates on quantifying and characterizing the radio interference potentially sourced by CGEM components such as the slip ring using a ENA vector network analyzer. Art started his work in the UBC Experimental Cosmology lab in the summer of 2020 as an NSERC USRA summer student then continued to complete two undergraduate thesis projects throughout my 3rd and 4th years.

Josh MacEachern is a PhD student in Physics at the University of British Columbia (2020-2024). Josh is in charge of the optical design of CGEM and also works on the simulations and data reduction software pipeline. Josh obtained his BSc. (Double Major in Astronomy and Computer Science) from UBC in 2020 with thesis work focusing on understanding the beams of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) and doing Galactic science with CHIME. Josh also has experience studying high-redshift galaxies with data from the Hubble Space Telescope and as an embedded software engineer.

Tom Landecker received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Sydney (Australia) in 1970. As a graduate student, he was afflicted with an incurable enthusiasm for radio astronomy. He came to the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO), in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, where he contributed to the design and construction of the DRAO Synthesis Telescope. He has pursued research into the physics of the Interstellar Medium using that telescope and other radio telescopes. Through adjunct professorships at the University of Alberta (Edmonton), the University of Calgary (Calgary), and the University of British Columbia Okanagan (Kelowna), he has supervised graduate students, working in both astronomy and engineering research. The astronomical research that he most enjoys is done with telescopes that he has had a hand in building; the engineering research that he most enjoys is directed at telescopes that he will use. From 1994 to 2007 he was Director of DRAO, and during that time managed the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, a partnership of DRAO and university scientists, investigating the ecosystem of the interstellar material of the Milky Way. An abiding focus of his research since the mid 1980s has been the magnetic field of the Milky Way, observed through the polarization of its radio emission. He is currently a Researcher Emeritus at DRAO.

Pedro Villalba González is a Physics MSc student at the University of British Columbia and a Rafael del Pino Scholar (2022-2023). He graduated from the University of Granada in 2021 where he worked on General Relativity and Condensed Matter Physics during the last two years of his BSc. At CGEM he is working on the simulations and data reduction software pipeline. He is involved in the Spanish Royal Physics Society as a member of the Board of Governors in both the Student Group and the Theoretical and Particle Physics Division. LinkedIn
