About

Asher Goodman

Hi, I'm Asher Goodman. I study physics and math at UChicago, where I run varsity track and XC while pursuing my passion for engineering and space systems.

I currently work as a Structures Engineer on the Pulse-A CubeSat team, where I design, model, and test spaceflight structures and components.

I am especially interested in mechanical and structural systems where physical and mathematical insight inform engineering decisions.

When I am not working, I'm usually running. I compete in cross country, and race the 1500, 3k, and 5k during track season. I also love the outdoors! Outside of Chicago, I take every opportunity to go backpacking, rock climbing, and mountaineering.
