Jason Wagoner is a relatively new member of the FAH team, but has already made some critically important contributions. Jason has already done a great deal of research relevant to Folding@home, when he was an undergraduate at Washington University at St Louis, working in Nathan Baker's lab. Jason's work centers around understanding water, and how water interacts with proteins. In particular, Jason is an expert in developing models for water which (we hope) will be more accurate, faster than existing models, AND well suited to architectures such as the PS3 or GPU. Jason has been working with Dr. Edgar Luttmann (see previous post about Edgar) on this new water model, and we're hoping to have our first paper submitted for peer review soon (maybe 1-2 weeks).
Dear Jason,
Ive been a contributor to FAH since I brought a PS3 a little over a year ago. Since the launch of the new LIFE@PlayStation I have found that getting my friends to join in is alot easier. I belong to a clan numbering approx 120 members and am looking to combine our efforts collectively via our new team( num 149355)which is fledgeling now but I hope to grow quickly and explanentially. Can you let me know of any extra ways we can streamline our efforts/ increase our contribution so I can feed this back to and coordinate the effort our our clan?
Best Regards
Clayton
