I did my PhD with David Anderson, as I needed a faulty distributed system and there was nothing better than home grid computing :D (or how we called it volunteer computing). I worked at CERN with the LHC@Home project allowing for the very first time to run real particle physics simulations in home desktops using BOINC (the framework used by SETI@Home) and VMs (VirtualBox was the one to go!). After all these years, it looks like SETI has finally settled down in 100 promising signals that should be reviewed again. I really loved this outcome and I still admire David for his work and for his support when I was at UC Berkeley working with him. https://news.berkeley.edu/2026/01/12/for-21-years-enthusiasts-used-their-home-computers-to-search-for-et-uc-berkeley-scientists-are-homing-in-on-100-signals-they-found/
