Dr. Tathagat Avtar Tulsi, an erstwhile Patna-born child prodigy has got a job of professor at the Indian Institute of Technology at Powai in Bombay. Tulsi is the youngest Assistant Professor at the age of 22. He will join the institute next week at Powai in Mumbai as the IIT faculty and will teach Physics.

This genius child completed his high school when he was 9, got B.Sc. degree at 10 and at the age of 12 he cleared M.Sc. in Physics. He completed his PhD (Doctorate) in Quantum Computing from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Banglore at the age of twenty one. In 2003, the prestigious Time magazine named him the world’s 7 most talented youngsters and now from July 19, at the age of 22, Tulsi is going to teach Physics at IIT Bombay.

Tulsi said, “I turned down Waterloo despite an impressive pay package because I do not want to go abroad now.” He also said, “My dream is to set up a lab focused on quantum computation in India, and one day help develop a largescale quantum computation-based supercomputer. IIT Bombay offers me these possibilities.”
