Noah Bender

Discovery UX Researcher
Berkeley Discovery

I earned a B.A. in History from the University of Rochester and am wrapping up a Ph.D. in Modern European Economic History here at UC Berkeley. Before coming to Berkeley Discovery, I’ve been lucky enough to work on a variety of UX projects as a consultant for Berkeley Innovative Solutions Consulting. After I complete my Ph.D. in May 2024, I plan to work full time as a UX researcher in the Bay Area.

I am a rising sophomore, intended to major in Computer Science. I grew up in the amazing city, Hong Kong, where I developed a love for discovering hidden food gems. When I'm not busy meeting homework deadlines or exploring new cuisines, you can usually find me playing the flute, piano or listening to r&b. But above all, I love connecting with people who share my passion for making a difference - one of the reasons I joined the Discovery Hub.

​​As a student in a large university, I understand the challenges of finding professional opportunities that cater to...

Stephanie Quiroz

Discovery Database Assitant
Berkeley Discovery

Hello! I’m currently a rising junior studying Data Science with an emphasis in Cognition. I’m from Los Angeles, but I love the Bay Area much more! I play the violin in UC Berkeley’s Mariachi Luz de Oro and am obsessed with cinema/films; I was planning on double majoring in Film and Media Studies but decided to focus more on my Data Science major.

As a first-generation Latina student, It was difficult to access academic resources and opportunities. I find it really important that students are exposed to more opportunities on campus so that they are able to find those...
