Terence Tao


Terence Tao is a Professor at UCLA, a Clay Research Fellow, and has also been a Visiting Professor at the University of New South Wales, Australia. His research is split between real-variable harmonic analysis (especially the study of maximal functions, multilinear operators, and oscillatory integrals), the analysis of non-linear dispersive and wave equations (especially at or near the critical regularity), and the combinatorics arising from the representation theory and symplectic geometry of U(n) (and in particular, the study of honeycombs).

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) awarded the 2002 Bôcher Memorial Prize to Terence Tao for his breakthrough on the problem of critical regularity in Sobolev spaces of the wave maps equations.
