| Personal background |
|---|
I just graduated from college a few months ago. Now I'm located in Southern California working on a high-tech startup. My degree is in computer science. I've been interested in computers ever since my father let me play with a very old Sharp pocket computer when I was around 8 years old. In high school I started taking computer science courses and decided to major in computer science. So here I am!
It may seem that I'm very focused on computer science, but actually, I have many other interests. When I'm not working, I like reading, surfing the Internet, watching TV, and writing. My hobby du jour is martial arts. I train in taijiquan and dabble in other arts as well.
Another of my on-and-off interests is astronomy, which is why I'm here at SETI@Home. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming an astronomer. For a while I lost interest, but in high school I joined my school astronomy club and learned a bit more about amateur astronomy. I haven't done much in astronomy since then, but I hope to get back into it some day soon. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

With all the galaxies in the universe, extraterrestrial life has to exist somewhere other than on Earth. The problem is that not many lifeforms may be intelligent. Even if there is intelligent life out there, it is probably too far for us to reach, and it might not bother to reach us either. I think it'll be quite a while before we make contact with any extraterrestrials. Nevertheless, discovering extraterrestrial life may be just what we need to bring us all together.
I'm doing my part in the search for extraterrestrial life by running SETI@home. I found out about SETI@home while researching a paper on the search for extraterrestrial life. Not only does SETI@home allow me to contribute to science, but it also puts my spare computing power to good use. |
