  1. Over a nearly 50 year career in plasma physics, spanning 1971–2020, Noah Hershkowitz designed many creative experiments that led to important contributions to plasma physics. He lived the mantra that a person who enjoys what they do will never have to work a day in their life. Noah loved plasma science. His interest was broad, encompassing fusion, low temperature, and basic plasma physics. This retrospective review discusses some highlights of his impactful contributions, focusing on diagnostics, sheath physics, and magnetic confinement for both low temperature plasma physics applications (especially cusp configurations) and fusion applications (tandem mirrors, especially axisymmetric configurations).
