Ainan Celeste Cawley (born November 23, 1999)[1] is a Singaporean[2] child prodigy and polymath in chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer programming and music.[3]

Projected to have an IQ of 263, Cawley gave his first public lecture at the age of six,[4][5] and at seven years and one month of age, he had passed the GCSE chemistry and studied chemistry at the tertiary level in Singapore Polytechnic[6] a year later. At the age of 9, he was able to recite pi to 518 decimal places and could remember the periodic table.[7] At the age of 12, he had scored his first film which was premiered at the Vilnius International Film Festival and eventually, directed his own film.[2]

In 2009, Cawley was featured in a Channel 4 documentary titled The World's Cleverest Child and Me.[8]

In 2010, his family moved to Kuala Lumpur where Cawley is a student at the Taylor's University in Malaysia after his father's request to have his son homeschooled was rejected.[9][10]

According to his parents, Valentine Cawley and Syahidah Osman, they claimed that Cawley could walk at six months old and construct complex sentences by his first birthday[11] and had said his first word when he was two weeks old.[1]
