Boedihardjo was born to an ethnic Chinese family in Hong Kong, with family roots in Anxi, China. Boedihardjo moved to the United Kingdom in 2005, when his older brother Horatio began studying at the University of Oxford.
Boedihardjo finished his A-level exams in Britain at the age of nine years and three months. He also gained 8 GCSEs. He was accepted at Hong Kong Baptist University, making him the youngest ever university student in Hong Kong. The university designed a tailored 5-year curriculum programme for Boedihardjo which he criticized as being too easy and unstimulating on the first day. He obtained B+ and A− in most of the mathematics course in his first year examination which entered him into the Dean's List. He was conferred a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Science and a Master of Philosophy in Mathematics after completing his programme one year early in 2011.
After graduating from Hong Kong Baptist University, Boedihardjo studied at Texas A&M University as a Visiting Scholar and then as a PhD student. As of 2020, Boedihardjo is an assistant adjunct professor at UCLA.
