I am currenty a fourth year electrical engineering student at the University of Manitoba. I have worked as a certified computer engineering technologist for 8 years before that.
I have ran Seti@home since 1999 but I stopped for a few years and now I am returning with a new account since I lost the info for the old one.
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.
