Text: Dr. Karen I. Perez joined the Berkeley SETI Research Center REU program in 2019 under the mentorship of Dr. Vishal Gajjar, where she helped test pulsar search pipelines and develop the observing strategy for the Breakthrough Listen Galactic Center Survey to search for both astrophysical signals and technosignatures. This work earned her the 2020 SETI Forward Award. Background: Starry night sky with graphics of a star and exoplanets in front of it.
Text: As the 2025 Jack Welch Postdoctoral Fellow at the SETI Institute, Dr. Perez works on developing real-time, machine learning and GPU-accelerated analysis pipelines for detecting single-pulse transients, as well as narrowband and broadband technosignatures using the Allen Telescope Array in Hat Creek, CA.
