Your personal background.
I gratuaded and mastered in Computer Science, and have a great passion for Science in general. Astronony and Advanced Physics are my favorites topics. I'm 30 years old now (born in 77).
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I run the Einstein@home to help accelerate the research in Advanced physics. I also runs SETI@home and Folding@home to help those 2 projects also.

The main suggestion I can say is to design and develop a version of Boinc for PS3. Since it has a huge raw processing power, it can help to achieve high processing power. See the example of Folding@home , which achieves the PETAFLOPS barrier by using the PS3 power. Eventough I'm not, in anyway associated with Sony or any corporation.
