Ainan Celeste Cawley (born 23 November 1999) is a Singaporean prodigy.[1]

Cawley gave his first public lecture at the age of six,[2][3] 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[4] a year later. At the age of 9, he was able to recite pi to 521 decimal places and could remember the periodic table.[5] 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.[6]

In 2007, Cawley studied at NUS High School of Math and Science, but left after expectations of his family were not met.[7]

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 UniversityinMalaysia after his father's request to have his son homeschooled was rejected.[9][10][11]

As of 2013, he is pursuing his career in music.[12]

According to his parents, Valentine Cawley and Syahidah Osman, Cawley could walk at six months old and construct complex sentences by his first birthday,[13] and had said his first word when he was two weeks old.[14]
