Louise Riofrio
Louise M. Riofrio (using the stage name Louisa Riofrio) is a scientist, an actress in stage, film, and television,[1] and a conservationist.[2]
Acting career[edit]
Riofrio, a member of SAG-AFTRA, made her first television appearance at the age of four. She studied acting with San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater and worked as an intern with the Marin Shakespeare Company. Her stage roles include Susan in No Sex Please, We're British, Jennifer in Two Into One, Caitlin in Over the River and Through the Woods, Vanessa in Play It Again, Sam, and Clegg in Witness for the Prosecution.[1]
As an actress she has worked in many different geographic locations. She has had uncredited appearances in 2 episodes of NCIS: New Orleans: "Outlaws" and "Ties that Bind". She appeared as "Parade Princess" in the 2016 episode "Let the Good Times Roll" of the television series One Mississippi. She appeared in the 2015 film Jurassic City. In 2017 she made an uncredited appearance in the science-fiction disaster film Geostorm.
Scientific career[edit]
Riofrio worked on a publication using returned Apollo program Moon samples.[3] She also worked on other lunar related subjects.[4][5]
Through analysis of lunar orbital data, she discovered a possible anomaly with possible implications for physics and cosmology.[6] Riofrio has presented a cosmological model,[7] including at the 2004 Beyond Einstein meeting at Stanford University.[8] She has not yet published her model in any peer-reviewed, highly reputable journal although professor Yves-Henri Sanejouand of the University of Nantes has published the Riofrio-Sanejouand cosmological model (independently discovered by Riofrio and Sanejouand by studying the same data) in the International Journal of Modern Physics D.[9][not in citation given]
In 2021 in connection with the Mars 2020 mission, many social media users propagated as an photograph taken from Mars what is actually a digital illustration created by Riofrio in 2010.[10] At that time she was working as a scientist at the Johnson Space Center.[11][10]
As of 2021, Riofrio is a crew candidate for the #DearMoon mission to travel around the Moon on a SpaceX Starship in 2023.[12]
