Green together they proved the Green–Tao theorem, which is well-known among both amateur and professional mathematicians. Tao has had a particularly extensive collaboration with British mathematician Ben J. He is known for his collaborative mindset by 2006, Tao had worked with over 30 others in his discoveries, reaching 68 co-authors by October 2015.

In 1999, when he was 24, he was promoted to full professor at UCLA and remains the youngest person ever appointed to that rank by the institution. In 1996, he joined the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles.

From 1992 to 1996, Tao was a graduate student at Princeton University under the direction of Elias Stein, receiving his PhD at the age of 21. In 1992, he won a Postgraduate Fulbright Scholarship to undertake research in mathematics at Princeton University in the United States. In 1991, he received his bachelor's and master's degrees at the age of 16 from Flinders University under the direction of Garth Gaudry. Tao (second from left) with UCLA undergraduate students in 2021Īt age 14, Tao attended the Research Science Institute, a summer program for secondary students. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians and has been referred to as the " Mozart of mathematics".

Tao has been the author or co-author of over three hundred research papers. He won the Fields Medal in 2006 and won the Royal Medal and Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics in 2014. His research includes topics in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, algebraic combinatorics, arithmetic combinatorics, geometric combinatorics, probability theory, compressed sensing and analytic number theory. He is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he holds the James and Carol Collins chair.
