I'm an astronomer specializing in #SETI, #UV #Instrumentation. #RadioAstronomy, #InterstellarMatter (#ISM), #VolunteerComputing, #BOINC, #SETIatHome, #retroComputing #retroGaming ...Wait a minute... That's not specializing!
I suppose with the #twitastrophe ongoing, I should get around pinning an #introduction.
I'm Eric Korpela, an astrophysicist by training. My expertise is in interstellar matter (#ISM), UV instrumentation, radio instrumentation, and #SETI. I used to direct a small volunteer computing project called SETI@home (#setiathome). I'm semi-retired, and theoretically working 17 hours a week. In practice that turns into almost as many hours as I was working before I retired.
My posts here will often be unrelated to my work. I find it hard to be chatty about things that have exhausted me during the day. My short term life goal is to learn all that is knowable.
My non-work interests are #vintagecomputing #fishing #politics #vintagegaming #cocktails #food #beer #wine #NCAAFootball and #photography.
