From Pirates@Home
I am a physicist working on I2U2 for LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory.
In 2004-2005 I was part of the team which set up Einstein@Home, a distributed computing project, somewhat like SETI@Home, which uses the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). Einstein@Home will download LIGO data to your PC and search through it for evidence of gravitational waves from periodic sources, all while displaying a nifty screensaver.
Before that, as a research physicist for the University of Michigan, I helped set up the Web Lecture Archive project, which contains a collection of on-line presentations with syncronized audio, video, and slides. WLAP lectures cover a wide range of topics, ranging from the CERN Summer Student Lecture Programme to UM clinical grand rounds.
