Ralph Battle (rb920)

I’m a 4th year earth scientist who joined CUAS in 1st year. I became ObsSec in 2020 because I want to help people enjoy amateur astronomy, and this is my 3rd year in the role. I mainly like to observe the moon and planets. Other than studying and astronomy I can be found cycling, hiking and sailing.

Haozhe Zhu (hz403, also webmaster)

I’m a 2nd-year Engineer from Downing, living right across the lecture theatre where the weekly talks take place. I’m mainly interested in amateur astrophotography and understanding how astronomical equipment works. I’ve even built a small equitorial mount for nightscape photography and a Newtonian reflector. Apart from Astronomy, classical guitar and tennis are also among my top three things to enjoy in my spare time.

Senior Commitee

CUAS also has a senior committee consisting of President Paul Hewitt and Senior Treasurer Jonathan Shanklin. They oversee the actions of the society.
