Meet Carson Huey-You, a 21-year-old prodigy rewriting the narrative of academic achievement. Carson is not your average young adult; he holds the distinction of being the youngest person to graduate from college in the state of Texas and one of the youngest globally. This is the remarkable story of a quantum physicist who graduated college at 14 and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy focused on quantum physics at Texas Christian University (TCU).
Carson’s exceptional intelligence manifested at an incredibly young age. By two, he was reading chapter books, and by three, he expressed a desire to learn calculus. Homeschooled by his mother, Claretta Kimp, a graduate in early education and business from Southern Illinois University, Carson’s intellectual journey began early. Both Carson and his younger brother, Cannan, graduated from the Accommodated Learning Academy in Grapevine, Texas.
Carson’s academic journey continued to astound. Graduating high school as co-valedictorian with a perfect 4.0 GPA at the age of 10, he scored an impressive 1770 on the SAT national college entrance test. Carson chose physics as his major during his undergraduate years at TCU, commuting between home and campus with his mother. His fascination with understanding the workings of the universe began at a young age while watching ‘Bill Nye the Science Guy’ during his homeschooling years.
Carson graduated from TCU with a bachelor’s degree in physics and minors in Mandarin Chinese and mathematics at the age of 14. By 17, he earned his master’s degree in physics, marking the completion of yet another academic milestone. Currently, Carson is pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy with a focus on quantum physics, further solidifying his status as a rising star in the field.
While Carson’s intellect shines in the academic realm, he is also a well-rounded individual. Beyond quantum physics, he enjoys playing the piano, engaging in Minecraft, mastering chess, and indulging in swimming. Adding a personal touch to his life, Carson is a proud dog owner, with his canine companion named Klaus, paying homage to the Nobel Prize-winning German physicist Klaus von Klitzing.
Carson Huey-You’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary, defying conventional timelines and expectations. From a child prodigy reading chapter books at two to a quantum physics doctoral candidate at 21, Carson’s story inspires awe and admiration. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of quantum physics, Carson Huey-You stands as a testament to the limitless potential within every young mind and the boundless possibilities that unfold when passion meets intelligence.
