World's youngest male professor teaches engineering at Miami Dade College

Nathan Thomas is a very smart young man from Florida.

When he was only 10 years old, he started taking college classes.

By the time he was 18, he had already earned two degrees in electrical engineering.

He then became a professor, teaching engineering at Miami Dade College.

He was 18 years and 346 days old, making him the youngest male professor in the world.

That record had been held for more than 300 years by a Scottish mathematician named Colin Maclaurin.

Nathan was also a little younger than the youngest female professor, Alia Sabur.

Nathan says his family of engineers, especially his mother, helped him love science and math.

Now he is 21 and teaches online while studying law at the University of Miami.

He wants to become a lawyer who helps people with inventions and technology.
