MilliQan is a detector in a well-shielded tunnel about 30m from the CMS pp interaction point at CERN's LHC, designed to look for 'milli-charged' particles coming from the LHC pp collisions. A 'demonstrator' detector was successfully installed in 2017 and collected about 35/fb of Run2 data. The results from that run will be discussed, along with the plans for upgrading the detector for Run3 <b>Bio</b> Andy Haas is an Associate Professor of Physics at NYU who received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington. His thesis work was based on data from the Fermilab Tevatron experiment. He is an active member of the ATLAS collaboration at the CERN LHC where he has searched for evidence of Physics Beyond the Standard Model.
