Very interesting! Luis is Luis Figuereido, who was a student of Richard Taylor when he was still in Cambridge (England!). He computed modular forms mod p over imaginary quadratic fields by adapting my code (the code for imaginary quadratic fields, of course!). He wrote the sparse matrix library which I used in the computation of the e.c. database to 130,000. (I then rewrote it which made it worse...)
