There As Only Been One Nigerian Elected As A Fellow At Trinity College Cambridge by buffny: 7:45pm On Sep 18, 2012 |
And of course he is yoruba. http://www.technologyreview.com/tr35/profile.aspx?trid=225 Adekunle Adeyeye, 33 Nanotechnology National University of Singapore 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 Adeyeye is a founding researcher at the $10 million Information Storage Materials Laboratory at the National University of Singapore,where he works in the field of “spintronics.”Conventional electronics take advan- tage of the charge of electrons in semiconducting materials.But electrons also have a property called “spin.”If Adeyeye succeeds in better utilizing electron spin,he could help revolutionize memory and logic devices,leading to smaller,faster and less power-hungry computers. |

buffny: And of course he is yoruba.
Written like a true Yoruba man. Bloody half baked, near illiterate folks You wan rub shoulder where elders don thread since many years ago. This man, Samuel Ejike Okoye, was a senior research Fellow, your man of yesterday na junior research fellow. You see the difference? You berra go and remove that nonsense post you put up on that thread. Your man is a beginner. Another Yoruba false claim busted. Wetin next una go claim? At international level, Okoye was a part-time consultant to the United Nations on the development of Space Science end Technology in developing countries (1979–1986). From 1990-93, he was appointed a visiting Professor/Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Astronomy, and Fellow Commoner at Churchill College at the University of Cambridge. In December 1993, Okoye was seconded from the University of Nigeria to the Federal Government as Director (overseas liaison), initially at the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Lagos, and subsequently the Nigerian Ministry of Science & Technology Abuja, where he also served as the pioneer Science attaché and Head of the Science and Technology Unit at the Nigerian High Commission, London. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Okoye http://igbopeople..com/2010/06/samuel-ejikeme-okoye.html |

@ buffny, Samuel Okoye (Nigeria's first astronomy professor) was a Carnegie Foundation Fellow at Cambridge in the 60s. I know that's a different thing, but you get the point - these kind of achievements aren't exclusive to any ethnicity. |
