Dr. Aaron Tohuvavohu

Dr. Aaron Tohuvavohu is a Fellow at Renaissance Philanthropy, where he leads efforts to revolutionize access to space-based astronomical research. He brings deep expertise from his work in astrophysics and satellite technology, with a background that spans theoretical physics, space mission operations, experiment design, and multi-messenger astrophysics. Aaron's unique perspective was shaped by his early role as an Observatory Scientist for NASA's Swift Observatory, where he optimized scientific returns across multiple astronomical disciplines rather than focusing on a single research area.

He was previously a NASA Einstein Fellow at Caltech developing new technologies for cosmic exploration.
