- Christopher Rose (professor)
Christopher Rose (born 9 January 1957 ) is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He received a Ph.D from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985. On September 2, 2004, an article by Christopher Rose and Gregory Wright, titled "Inscribed matter as an energy-efficient means of communication with an extraterrestrial civilization", appeared on the cover of "Nature" with the headline "Dear ET...".
The article showed that wireless communications is an inefficient means for potential communication over interstellar distances owing to both the unavoidable reduction of signal strength as distance squared and that information can be densely encoded (inscribed)in matter. The article also suggested that information-bearing physical artifacts might be a more likely first form of contact with an extraterrestrial civilization than radio signals.Following the publication, Rose and Wright's idea was featured by a number of news sources including the BBC World Service, National Public Radio and the New York Times with an article by Dennis Overbye and a subsequent editorial.
Rose is an IEEE Fellow and winner of the 2003 IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in wireless communications.
