Giuseppe Cocconi is an Italian astrophysicist known for his work in the field of radio astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). He is perhaps best known for co-authoring a seminal paper in 1959 with Philip Morrison, in which they outlined the potential for using radio waves to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations. Their paper proposed that radio telescopes could be used to detect signals from intelligent life beyond Earth, laying the groundwork for many subsequent SETI initiatives.
