Eli Sofovich earned a B.S. in Astronomy and Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is currently seeking a Ph.D. as a graduate student at UW-Madison’s Department of Astronomy. His broad interests lie in astrobiology and the hunt to answer the question “Are we alone in the universe,” which he seeks to answer through his research with Prof. Zoe Todd to better understand how life could originate on exoplanets by examining the delivery of the chemicals necessary for life through comets and asteroids.
