Can it be confirmed that Alia is indeed the youngest Phd Student ever? I believe that is at least spurious.

Doing Google for "Youngest doctorate candidate" and "youngest phD candidate" only one competitor showed up. A girl named Wanda Haffit who is also fifteen. However a Bernd R. Noack received his doctorate in physics at sixteen and I know of a Carl Witte who had a philosophy doctorate at 11.--T. Anthony 14:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

That said the answer seems to a tentative yes. Tathagat Avatar Tulsi was likely the same age as a doctoral candidate, but she seems to in least be the youngest doctoral student at present. Unless this Wanda woman is younger.(Bernd Noack is a grown man whose prodigy days are in the past)--T. Anthony 15:05, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
