Bio: Daniel Apai holds an appointment as Professor of Astronomy at the Steward Observatory, Professor of Planetary Science at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, and Professor of Optical Sciences in the Wyant College of Optical Sciences at The University of Arizona. Daniel's research focuses on exoplanets and astrobiology, with particular emphasis on habitable planets and planetary systems. He leads large programs to understand the formation and habitability of nearby planetary systems and to characterize and map exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres. He also leads the Nautilus Space Observatory concept, a project that explores a radical novel space telescope architecture with the goal of characterizing a thousand potentially earth-like exoplanets.
