Andrew M. Davis

Andrew M. Davis (born 1950) is an American meteoriticist and professor of astronomy and geoscience at the University of Chicago. He is the son of American chemist and physicist Raymond Davis Jr., a Nobel Prize in Physics laureate.

His main field of study is the origin of the elements by stellar nucleosynthesis. He currently is the head of a project to build a new instrument called the ion nanoprobe, which will allow isotopic and chemical analysis at finer scales than any contemporary instrument.

He is also studying the cometary dust and contemporary interstellar dust returned to Earth by the Stardust spacecraft in 2006. In 2018, he was made Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
