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.

The researcher studies how clouds on distant exoplanets affect their climates and potential for life. Working with NASA, they model how exotic materials—like iron or sapphire clouds—absorb and reflect light. They found particle shape greatly influences temperature and habitability, helping determine whether alien worlds could support liquid water and life.
