WASHINGTON, April 26: Alia Sabur, a 19-year old Iranian American, has been declared the world's youngest professor in history by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Alia broke the 1717 record set by a student of physicist Isaac Newton, Colin Maclaurin.
She has been setting records and making history throughout her young career; starting with reading at 8 months. Her IQ was determined off the charts.
She went from 4th grade to college, earning a BS in Applied Mathematics summa cum laude from Stony Brook University, New York at age 14, the youngest female in American history.
She then earned an MS and PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia.
Alia is the youngest ever to receive fellowships and awards from the US Department of Defence, Nasa and the US National Science Foundation.

First of all, there is no mention anywhere that she is Iranian, except Iranian media or other Iranians. Second, even if she is Iranian, thank goodness that she is out of Iran. Do you think she could advance as much as she has if she was in Iran? I don't think so.

I googled her name and saw many pointing out that her mother is an American and her father is an Iranian. I guess this is going to be another Agassi and Sami Yusuf for a while now. Only Iranians are capable of denying their roots. There is no reason for others to do so, even for people of Bengal.
