Hello, I’m Geneva Isaacson, a recent graduate with 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.

With extensive experience in modeling and simulation to designing and prototyping new technologies, I’ve contributed to projects. Currently, I work as a Staff Level Mechanical Engineer at Triton Systems Inc. in the Applied Computational Engineering group. My work revolves around providing company wide support with modeling and design needs. My research is 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 am currently applying to Physics/Astronomy PhD programs in the Boston area that have professors working on developing cutting-edge instrumentation. I’m particularly drawn to collaborative, interdisciplinary environments that explore the forefront of space systems technology. With my goal of working as an instrumentation scientist, I am looking for opportunities to design, build, and test new ground- and space-based equipment for astronomical observations.

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 prospective PhD student.
