J. Ernest Wilkins, Jr.

Jesse Ernest Wilkins, Jr. (November 27, 1923 – May 1, 2011) was an African American nuclear scientist, mechanical engineer and mathematician, who gained first fame on entering the University of Chicago at age 13, becoming its youngest ever student.〔〔Mathematicians of the African Diaspora. (J Ernest Wilkins, Jr. ), Department of Mathematics, University of Buffalo. Retrieved online May 7, 2011.〕〔U.S. Department Of Energy, (Black Contributors to Science and Energy Technology (Biographical sketch: Ernest Wilkins) ), U.S. Department Of Energy, Office of Public Affairs, U.S.Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1979, pp. 14–15, DOE/OPA-0035(79)〕 His intelligence led to him being referred to as a "negro genius" in the media.
As part of a widely varied and notable career, Wilkins contributed to the Manhattan Project during the Second World War. He also gained fame working in and conducting nuclear physics research in both academia and industry. He wrote numerous scientific papers, served in various important posts, earned several significant awards and helped recruit minority students into the sciences.〔〔University of Chicago. (University of Chicago to Commemorate Accomplishments of Mathematics Alumnus J. Ernest Wilkins Jr. ), University of Chicago News Office, February 27, 2007, updated July 23, 2007. Retrieved June 9, 2011.〕〔Y., M.R., UofChicago Magazine. (The Wilkins Effect ), University of Chicago Magazine website, March 2, 2007. Retrieved June 9, 2011.〕 His career spanned seven decades and included significant contributions to pure and applied mathematics, civil and nuclear engineering, and optics.
Despite his stature and fame during his various careers he was not unaffected by the prevalent racism that existed for much of his life.〔

In 1940 Wilkins completed his B.Sc. in mathematics at age 17, then his M.Sc. at age 18, and finally went on to complete a Ph.D in mathematics at the University of Chicago, graduating in 1942 at age 19.〔 In order to improve his rapport with the nuclear engineers reporting to him, Wilkins later received both bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from New York University in 1982 and 2001,〔〔 thus earning five science degrees during his life.
