19. Stefano Leonardi, professor at University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, has worked at the Sapienza University of Rome, Max Planck Institute, Saarbreucken, Germany, and at Carnegie Mellon and Berkeley Universities in the US. Through these experiences, he has enjoyed access to the best resources on the planet. “My wife and I moved to Puerto Rico about two years ago because we feel it is as close to Paradise as one can get—unless you rely on supercomputing to do your work. If it weren’t for TeraGrid, there is no way I could conduct my research,”
