Abstract :
We present developments in the search for engineered radio emissions from advanced extraterrestrial life. Our group is currently engaging in both targeted and sky survey searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), covering a wide variety of narrow-band and pulsed signal types. We are also developing new SETI instrumentation, designed to be flexible, modular and to employ commodity components that lower cost and enhance upgradability. Here we will discuss the status of these observational and engineering projects, as well as prospects for future radio SETI endeavors.
