I am John Dreher of the SETI Institute. I have a doctorate in astronomy from the University of California at Berkeley. In the first half of my career I worked on the Millimeter Array at the Hat Creek Observatory as a Research Assistant, the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory as a postdoc, and then taught in the Physics Department at MIT as an Assistant, then Associate, Professor. My research centered on observations of extrgalactic radio sources and of star forming regions in our own galaxy. In the second half of my career I have pursued the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, primarily at the SETI Institute. Eventually I lead the R&D phase of the Allen Telescope Array, becoming something of an engineer along the way. Presently I am disabled by Multiple Sclerosis.
