| David R. Hill is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was born in Akron, Ohio and raised in suburban Cleveland. David earned his B.S. in Biology at Kent State University. During his doctoral training at The Case Western Reserve University Lerner College of Medicine, David studied the role of extracellular matrix in host-microbe interactions of the intestinal surface. As a component of this research, David contributed to the development of a novel anti-inflammatory carbohydrate polymer based on structures naturally occurring in human milk. David now studies the molecular mechanisms that guide microbial colonization of the neonatal intestine. He lives in Ypsilanti, Michigan with his lovely wife Michelle and their adorable and energetic son David. |

I have a personal server that I primarily use for backups and file transfers these days, which is not very comuptationally demanding. Instead of allowing my server to sit idle 99% of the time, I wanted to put this resource to use. While my training is in biology, I have had a lifelong interest in astronomy and physics, inspired in part by the writings of Carl Sagan and his TV series "Cosmos". I am proud to have the opportunity to contribute in this very small way to the important work being done at SETI.
My only suggestion is that the help files for installation could use some work. I'd like to share what I learned in the process of installing and running this software on a remote Debian server. Please contact me if there is any way I can help. |
