The 2013 Best Overall Graduating Ph.D. Student of the University of Lagos, Dr. Hallowed Oluwadara Olaoluwa has commenced a postdoctoral research programme at Harvard University, United States of America.
Dr. Hallowed would serve as Postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics, Harvard University from August 2015 to July 2016 under the direct supervision of Prof. Mark Kisin, a renowned Mathematician, known for his work in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry.
The postdoctoral training is fully sponsored by the University of Lagos where Dr. Olaoluwa currently holds a full-time job as a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics.
Dr. Olaoluwa was born on the September 27, 1989 into the family of Pastor & Mrs. Olaoluwa, in Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR). Commencing his primary education at the age of 5, he progressively got four double-promotions in his pre-tertiary education (between Primary 5 and Higher School).
At the age of 14 years, he became the youngest student to pass the French Baccalaureate, Science (HSC or ‘A’ Levels) at age 14 in the CAR. AT 15, he proceeded to the University of Bangui through direct entry – graduating three years later with First Class Bachelor degrees in Mathematics and Physics respectably, which courses he offered concurrently. Similarly, at 19, he obtained two Master’s degrees (with Distinction) in Mathematics and Physics at the same University.
Upon his return to Nigeria, Olaoluwa undertook the National Youth Services with the Department of Mathematics, University of Lagos, and subsequently enrolled for the Ph.D. programme in the same department. He graduated in a record two years and ten months, thus emerging the Youngest Ph.D. holder in Mathematics in Africa.
