Jacob L. "Jake" Barnett (born May 26, 1998) is an American physics student and child prodigy.[1] According to a memoir penned by his mother, he was diagnosed with autism when he was two years old and was homeschooled by his parents.[2][3][4]
Barnett was admitted to the Perimeter Scholars International in 2013, a one-year non-degree master's level program at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario.[5] At the age of 15, he was the youngest student admitted to the program[6] since its inaugural class four years prior in 2009.[7] He completed the program in 2014[8] and has subsequently been listed as a doctoral student at the Perimeter Institute.[9]
