Your personal background.
I (finally!) got my Ph.D. in physics in March 2004 from the University of Washington.

I am currently unemployed while I await for an adgustment to my migratory status in the U.S.

Oh, I am actually from Mexico I was born in Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso. My bachelors is also in phyics, from the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, in Monterrey Mexico.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
My master's degree thesis in physics (from UT El Paso) was on an analysis of the Pioneer 10 Doppler tracking data to test for the presence of periodicities which could be due to very long wavelength gravitational waves, so...

OK, my Ph.D. thesis at the UW was in condensed matter, but I guess I've always had an interest in General Relativity, like in master's days.
