Erik Demaine - самый молодой профессор MIT
His childhood was spent travelling North America with his father, Martin Demaine, an artist and sculptor; he was home-schooled. Erik entered Dalhousie University in Canada at the age of 12, and completed his bachelor's degree when only 14. He joined the MIT faculty in 2001, at age 20, reportedly the youngest professor in the history of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
