Dr. Shelley Wright is a pioneer in optical and near-infrared SETI Instrument development. She led and collaborated on the design, construction and implementation of pulsed laser SETI instruments. Wright was a critical team member that developed one of the most advanced optical SETI experiments and was the Principal Investigator of the first near-infrared SETI instrument (NIROSETI) and survey. Now she is the Principal Investigator of an all-sky, all-the-time panoramic SETI observatory called ‘PANOSETI.’
Wright is also the recipient of the SETI Institute's 2022 Drake Award.
