Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarisa Geyer is a researcher and commissioning scientist at SKA South Africa with over a decade of experience applying advanced computational techniques to problems in astrophysics and radio astronomy. Trained in theoretical physics and astrophysics (MSc and DPhil work spanning geodesics, resonances, and pulsar science), she focuses on radio pulsars, the ionized interstellar medium and the complex environment of the Galactic Centre, with an eye to tests of General Relativity. She combines hands-on commissioning of large radio facilities with data-driven research, translating instrument performance into scientific insight. Based in the Western Cape, she is also committed to science communication and growing public awareness of astronomy across South Africa. Her background in journalism and early consultancy experience gives her a rare ability to explain technical results clearly to diverse audiences. Colleagues value her for tackling analytically challenging problems that bridge theory, instrumentation and big-data analysis.
