GWAC Science on Tap: "Technosignatures on Tap" with Joe Lazio
Advertisement
Join the WVU Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology at the inaugural Science on Tap event, hosted at 123 Pleasant Street. The event will be hosted on Tuesday, September 29 at 7:00 PM. Our first speaker is Joe Lazio, and his talk is titled "Technosignatures on Tap."
Humanity has five spacecraft that will escape the Solar System and spread into the Milky Way. Landers, rovers, and their delivery systems also litter the surface of the Moon and Mars. If we can do it, why not others? Lazio will take a critical look at what we can conclude about extraterrestrial spacecraft in the Solar System.
This event is free and open to the public! All are welcome to come to this accessible and engaging presentation.
Lazio studied at Cornell University, then has had staff positions at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the University of Michigan. Along the way, he has served as Deputy Director of the NASA Lunar Science Institute, the Project Scientist for the International Space Kilometre Array, the Project Scientist for NASA's Deep Space Network, and the Project Scientist for NASA's Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE).
The WVU Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology addresses cutting-edge astrophysics problems that can be solved most effectively through interdisciplinary collaboration across physics, astronomy, math, computer science and engineering. They are experts in observational and theoretical astrophysics, radio instrumentation, computer science, and outreach and education. Center members span two colleges and have affiliates throughout West Virginia.
