Gerry Zeitlin is a graduate of Cornell University (B.E.E. 1960) and the University of Colorado (M.S.E.E. 1969). He pursued further graduate studies in physics, astronomy, and astrophysics at the University of California, Berkeley. At Cornell, Mr. Zeitlin performed studies of early feed designs for use at the Arecibo Observatory, then under development.
His Master’s Thesis at the
University of Colorado was devoted to an analysis and modeling of
propagation modes in the curved VLF earth-ionosphere waveguide. Zeitlin
also conducted studies of seasonal patterns of world-wide VLF noise for
Westinghouse
As a staff engineer with the University of California Space Sciences Laboratory, Berkeley, Zeitlin managed an early version of Project SERENDIP, collecting and analyzing SETI data at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, and at Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Deep Space Network, Goldstone, California. He was awarded a NASA-ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship at the University of Santa Clara, supporting his contribution to the development of advanced methods of high-speed SETI analysis at NASA Ames Research Center.
Mr. Zeitlin has also pursued a sideline career in information security with the Department of Defense, Pacific Bell, Verisign, Wells Fargo, and Science Applications International Corporation, from which organization he retired in 2002. Zeitlin is a Life Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, an Associate Member of the Society for Scientific Exploration, and a past member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research (SPSR).
He now devotes his energies to the Open SETI Initiative http://openseti.org. Mr. Zeitlin has held a private pilot certificate since 1981.
