Noah's main research endeavor is PER - Physics Education Research. The product of his research is two video series, mentored by Dr. Colleen Countryman, focused on helping students in physics courses grapple with their coursework in the form of supplemental videos that could be watched at any time. This low-budget, high-impact plan was made to be easily replicable at both the high school and collegiate levels.

After graduation, Noah plans to travel to Israel for a year, learning more about his Judaism and faith, followed by obtaining his Master's in Education to become a high school Physics teacher.
