Hello, I’m Geneva Isaacson. I am a Harvard PhD student in the Physics Department focusing on astrophysics instrumentation. I am a first year graduate student taking Quantum Mechanics and a cosmology course. I am still in the process of deciding who my research advisor will be, but I am attending lab meetings to get a more concreate answer.

Prior to starting my program, I was working as a Staff Level Mechanical Engineer at Triton Systems Inc. in the Applied Computational Engineering group. My work revolved around providing company wide support with modeling and design needs. My research was mostly focused in ray optics modeling, telescope design, MATLAB coding, and design of Navy electronics. My past academic research includes my master's work, senior capstone and independent projects, working on projects in solid state propellants and microfluidics. I have a Master's in Aerospace Engineering and Bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. My passion lies at the intersection of astrophysics and engineering, where I aim to advance our understanding of the cosmos through innovative instrumentation design and development.

Feel free to explore my portfolio and connect with me as I pursue opportunities to merge my technical expertise and passion for astrophysics as a PhD student.
