Scientists are searching for alien signals at frequencies never studied before
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) continues as scientists look to low-frequency radio waves that have long gone unexplored.

PhD Candidate of Astrophysics, Trinity College Dublin
I am an Irish astrophysicist, currently enrolled as a PhD researcher at Trinity College Dublin, jointly supported by UC Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. Evan Keane and Dr. Vishal Gajjar. My research is based on transient astronomical objects using everything from pulsars as gravitational probes to searching large data sets for signs of ET. I completed my undergraduate degree in Physics with Astronomy and Space Science at University College Dublin (UCD) in 2022. During this time I worked as a research assistant at UC Berkeley. Working primarily using LOw Frequency ARrays (LOFAR) searching for technosignatures, pulsars and FRBs.
