A picture of Sofía, smiling, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, thick-rimmed glasses, a red backpack, and jade green dress, leaning against the blue railing of an elevated platform with crystal-clear ocean water meeting a sandy beach below.

Sofía is from Boise, Idaho, and received her B.S. in physics at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Her past research used computational methods to model defects in nanocrystalline materials and quantify uncertainty in measurements of star formation rates in high-redshift compact starburst galaxies. She is currently exploring new research directions.
