[Particle-physics-affiliated] [Particle-physics-baes] FW: Replacing Philip Lu - input welcome

[Rüdiger Picker]

HI Oliver et al,

going in the PEng direction ideally with cryo expertise makes a lot of
sense.

With Ruslan having left a while ago and Cam retiring soon, there is not
only a gap in SciTech but at TRIUMF at large
in cryo engineering.

Best,

Ruediger
