March Tian Boedihardjo ( Chinese: 沈 詩 鈞) is a Hong Kong mathematician. He is a former child prodigy of ethnic Hokkien descent with ancestry from Anxi, Quanzhou, China. [1]
Boedihardjo was born to an ethnic Chinese family in Hong Kong, with family roots in Anxi, China.[ citation needed] Boedihardjo moved to the United Kingdom in 2005, when his older brother Horatio began studying at the University of Oxford. [2]
Boedihardjo finished his A-level exams in Britain at the age of nine years and three months, after attending Greene's College Oxford. [3] [note 1] He also gained 8 GCSEs. [2] He was accepted at Hong Kong Baptist University, making him the youngest ever university student in Hong Kong. [4] The university tailored a special 5-year curriculum programme for Boedihardjo which he criticized as being too easy and unstimulating on the first day. [5] [6] He obtained A−'s and B+'s in most of his mathematics courses in his first year, which got him on the Dean's List. [7] He was conferred a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Science and a Master of Philosophy in Mathematics after completing his programme one year early in 2011. [8] [9] [10] [11]
After graduating from Hong Kong Baptist University, Boedihardjo studied at Texas A&M University as a visiting scholar and then as a PhD student. [11] [12] In 2017, Boediharjo took up the position of assistant adjunct professor at UCLA on a three-year contract, [13] a position he held until 2020. [14] He was a visiting assistant professor at UC Irvine from 2021 to 2022 before starting a postdoc at ETH Zurich, a position he held until 2023. He is currently an assistant professor at Michigan State University. [15]
