This research uses artificial intelligence and astronomical data to search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. By applying anomaly-detection techniques to telescope images, the project identifies unusual signals or patterns that may indicate intelligent activity, with the ultimate goal of detecting and decoding potential messages from civilizations beyond Earth.

This research develops an onboard AI diagnostic assistant for space missions that can independently investigate life-critical anomalies. By learning how humans ask strategic diagnostic questions, the system combines language models and traditional AI to actively reason through unprecedented spacecraft failures when communication with Earth is delayed.
