I am a graduate student at School of Information at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am doing a study on SETI@Home electronic community for a class project. More information about the study is available at-
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~nsharma/si884.html
One of the reasons to undertake the study was my personal interest in SETI and the SETI@Home ecommunity. If you have any suggestions, please contact me at nikhil@umich.edu
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
