Dr. Chenoa Tremblay is a project scientist at the SETI Institute with joint appointments at Breakthrough Initiatives, the University of New Mexico, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. At the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico and the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, she leads a team that processes radio astronomy data in real time, simultaneously with standard telescope operations. However, her curiosity led her to explore many aspects of astronomy, including astrochemistry, SETI, and galaxy evolution. After a 20-year career in corporate research and development, she earned her Ph.D. in Physics and Computing from Curtin University, Australia. The majority of her time is spent looking for answers to the question "Are we alone?"

Chenoa routinely volunteers her time to her community and works with younger students to build their curiosity in the world. She believes that it is through curiosity, motivation, and leadership that we can make the world a better place and discover wonderful new things about our Universe.
