Avi Loeb is a distinguished astrophysicist and professor at Harvard University, renowned for his pioneering research in cosmology and his provocative hypotheses regarding extraterrestrial life. He holds the position of Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard and has authored several bestselling books, including "Extraterrestrial" and "Interstellar." Beyond his academic work, Loeb is a leading figure in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. He gained widespread attention for his analysis of 'Oumuamua, an interstellar object that passed through our solar system in 2017. Loeb proposed that 'Oumuamua could be an artificial probe sent by an advanced civilization, a hypothesis that has sparked both interest and debate within the scientific community. In 2021, Loeb founded The Galileo Project, an initiative aimed at systematically searching for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artifacts. The project focuses on the detection and characterization of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and other potential signs of extraterrestrial technology. This endeavor reflects Loeb's commitment to applying rigorous scientific methods to the exploration of extraterrestrial life.
