Alia Sabur

She was reading at 8 months and in graduate school at 14 years of age. Now she is the world's youngest full time professor.

"Alia Sabur is indeed a name that made its way on April 21, 2008 in to the coveted Guinness Book of World Records for being the youngest professor; a record that was held only once previously back in 1717 by a student of renowned physicist Sir Isaac Newton, Collin Maclaurin." --WECite

"She has been hired as a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea."--Wikipedia

Unbelievably bright. I wonder if she'll continue climbing up the academic scale, or burn out as so many child prodigies have. . .
