Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Sasha Novack attendedLaGuardia Arts High School where he studied cello performance. He then moved to Baltimore where he received a Bachelor of Science in physics and a minor in music from Johns Hopkins University and the Peabody Conservatory. For the past few years, Sasha has been working closely with the Physics Education Research department trying to make physics a slightly less hated subject. He has also been working on incorporating haptics and physical elements into various ACME Lab projects. In his spare timehe is a reporter for , writing science and news features.
