Teaching at 19,and Raring to Go

She   wants to share her knowledge to the world. This young talented teacher believes in the German writer   Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s quote ‘Knowing is not enough,We must apply’. She swears by this statement and hence has decided to do it practically in her life too. She is lucky to have made it at a young age of just 19 years. Yes we are talking about none other than the talented   college professor Alia   Sabur. She  was appointed as  a full time faculty professor at  Konkuk University in Seoul. Alia was a research liaison at Stoney Brooks University.

The child prodigy from Northport enrolled at Stony Brook University at age 10 and played clarinet with the Rockland Symphony Orchestra at 11.  Sabur was three days shy of her 19th birthday in February when she became a professor at   Konkuk  University, in Seoul. Sabur was inspired by Colin Mc Laurin who was a student of famed  scientist Newton. McLaurin   was a big name in the chapter of Calculus in Mathematics in the year 1717.

Alia got her Bachelors degree from stony Brook University at the age of 14 years in 2003  and continued her academic stint at Kongkuk where Stony Brook also had an academic partnership. She was always a top class academic performer and has been ahead of the learning curve  ever since  her academic foray. She started talking and reading when she was just 8 months old. She had elementary school finished at age 5.She made the jump to college at age 10. And by age 14, Sabur was earning a bachelor’s of science degree in applied mathematics Her education continued at Drexel University, where she earned an M.S. and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering.

With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. She was three days short of her 19^th birthday in February when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea.

Sabur had no intentions to set a world record but she was just  gravitating  towards  putting her learning  to good use. At Konkuk University, Sabur said she will take part in classroom instruction, but will also focus on research into developing nanotubes   for use as cellular probes that could help aid in cures for diseases. She had also taken up Math and Physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans which  was  at that time just recovering from the after effects of Hurricane  Katrina. She was doing her bit to train students   and   educate   them   in a way alleviating them from the calamity misery in her own   good way.

The youngest  college Professor  was set by 19 year old Alia Sabur at Kongkuk University, Seoul, South Korea on  April 22,2008.
