Nothing unites humanity quite like the inspiration and aspiration of Space, and the quest for answering the question "are we alone in the universe?". I am thrilled to be part of an incredible group of people -- scientists, academics, entrepreneurs, and investors leveraging the SETI Institute platform to both "learn" (through multi-disciplinary research) and "teach" (through educational content, seminars, citizen science projects and outreach). Specifically, I am looking forward to building bridges between Silicon Valley (home of the SETI Institute) and the global south (India, SE Asia, Sub-saharan Africa, Latin America). Humbled and honored!
