Note that "whom" is the object form of the pronoun "who," and is used when referring to the object of a verb or a preposition. In this case, "whom" is used because the speaker met the professor, making the professor the object of the verb "met."
If you can replace the word with he or she or another subject pronoun, use who. If you can replace it with him or her (or another object pronoun), use whom.
