 |  Ten years ago. Adekunle Adeyeye left his
computer-programming job in ibadan, Nigeria,
to get a master's in microelectronics engineering
at the University of Cambridge in England. Despite a rocky start, he finished atop his class. He
joined the physics PhD program at the university's Cavendish Laboratory,where he researched
magnetism in thin films. He then became the first Nigerian elected as a prestigious junior
research fellow of Trinity College at Cambridge.There,Adeyeye devised nanofabrication tech-
niques that allowed him to create novel nano magnets.His mentor, physicist Stephen Julian,
attributes Adeyeye's success to'tremendous energy and creativity.'Today Adeyeyc is a founding researcher at the $10 million infomiation Storage Materials Laboratory at the National University of Singapore, where he works in the field of 'spimronics.' Conventional electronics take advan-tage of the charge of electrons In semiconducting materials.But electrons also have a properry called'Spin-'lf Adeyeye succeeds in better utilizing electron spin, he could help revolutionize and logic devices, leading to smallef,faster and less power-hungry computers.

| | |  No pictures adorn Christopher Ahlberg's office.The Swedish-born computer scientist and amateur kickboxer says simplicity encourages
people to do what's needed and move on.This philosophy pervades his company, Spotfire. Its DecisionSite software allows computer
users to go into multiple databases regardless of their format, easily import,export and manipulate very large data sets, and visualize
the results in dynamic graphs, charts and plots. In other words: get the information they need and get out. More than 400 biotech,
pharmaceutical, oil and gas,chemical, and auto companies—from Merckto Saab—now use DecisionSite to help them render verdicts
on everything from scientific experiments to manufacturing lines.
Founded in 1996 by three people,the privately held company now employs 175inSomerville,MA, and Goteborg, Sweden. Ahiberg
has grander designs for DedsionSite, too. Chief among them: becoming the one application companies use to interrogate databases
around the I world over the Internet, as simply as they navigate text documents on the Web.
