At the age of 16, he graduated with both Master's and Bachelor's degrees at the Flinders University. He has been considered as "Mr Fix it" by Charles Feffer-man， who is a professor of Mathematics at Princeton Uni?versity ,and many other mathematicians want to interest him in their problems.

This 31-year-old Japanese-American astrophysicist lands him third in this list.
