I am a Mechanical Engineer for my day job and an electronics hobbyists off the clock.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am interested in single board computers and found that I could put them to good use when I am not using them. I do light data analysis at work and am fascinated at the data crunching going on (even if I don't fully understand it).
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.
