The PhD position is now filled. Welcome Vivien Berthelot in our team ! I had the opportunity to interview five students (in less than a week) and he had the best profile for the project. The other students were all of a very good academic level. Thank you to them for considering my research project.

I am done with searching a candidate for a PhD in my team. Welcome Ganesh Pritchai to the LCP ! EDIT: as of 20110907, Ganesh is no more a PhD student candidate. He cowardly was riding multiple horses without saying. Unprofessional ways, indeed.

I finally finished handsomely improving (by a full rewrite) the isotopic cluster prediction for any chemical formula in the massXpert software. The program now runs eight times as fast as the previous version. Further, the simulations can now be performed either using the gaussian calculation or the lorentzian simulation. The simulations are now highly accurate, even for very large and heavily charged molecules. The figure below shows the predicted isotopic cluster for a large protein (GP120 or MDR) charged 20+ with a theoretical resolution of 300000.

Enrico Zini, Debian Account Manager, has sent me an email with the following:

Hi. I've approved the AM report and requested the account to be created with 0xC78F687C

This means that, if the account creation process works fine I will be a Debian Developer.
