CETI Researchers
- Frank Drake (SETI Institute): SETI pioneer, composed the Arecibo message with Carl Sagan
- Dr John Elliott (SETI Research UK): research into developing strategies, which are based on receiving a 'natural' language message, that look at developing algorithms to detect if an ET signal has intelligent-like structure and if so, then how to decipher its content. Author of many papers in this area and a contributor to SETI's book on interstellar communication. Other contributions include message design and construction; member of: International Academy of Astronautics, SETI Permanent Study Group; International Task Group for the Post-detection identification of unknown radio signals.
- Laurence Doyle (SETI Institute): studies animal communication, and has developed statistical measures of complexity in animal utterances as well as human language.
- Stephane Dumas: developed Cosmic Call messages, as well as a general technique for generating 2-D symbols that remain recognizable even if corrupted by noise.
- Yvan Dutil: developed Cosmic Call messages with Stephane Dumas.
- Paul Fitzpatrick (MIT): developed CosmicOS system based on lambda calculus
- Brian McConnell: developed framework for algorithmic communication systems (ACETI) from 2000-2002.
- Marvin Minsky (MIT AI researcher): first proposed the idea of including algorithms within an interstellar message.
- Carl Sagan (deceased): co-authored the Arecibo message, and was heavily involved in SETI throughout his life.
- Douglas Vakoch (SETI Institute): studies CETI and has published numerous articles, as well as an upcoming book from MIT Press about interstellar communication.
- Alexander Zaitsev (IRE, Russia): composed Teen Age Message with Boris Pshenichner, Lev Gindilis, Lilia Filippova, et al., composed Bilingual Image Glossary for Cosmic Call 2003 Message, Scientific Manager of transmitting from Evpatoria Planetary Radar the Cosmic Call 1999, the Teen Age Message 2001, and the Cosmic Call 2003, Scientific consultant for A Message From Earth project.

Famous quotes containing the word researchers:
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
