![]() ![]() Childhood Ī child prodigy, Tao exhibited extraordinary mathematical abilities from an early age, attending university-level mathematics courses at the age of 9. They live in Los Angeles, California, and have two children: Riley and daughter Madeleine. Tao is married to Laura Tao, an electrical engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Tao speaks Cantonese but cannot write Chinese. Both formerly represented the country at the International Mathematical Olympiad. ![]() Tao also has two brothers, Trevor and Nigel, who are living in Australia. They then emigrated from Hong Kong to Australia in 1972. Billy and Grace met as students at the University of Hong Kong. She was a secondary school teacher of mathematics and physics in Hong Kong. Tao's mother, Grace Leong, was born in Hong Kong she received a first-class honours degree in astrophysics and mathematics at the University of Hong Kong. Tao's father, Billy Tao, was a Chinese paediatrician who was born in Shanghai and earned his medical degree ( MBBS) from the University of Hong Kong in 1969. Tao's parents are first-generation immigrants from Hong Kong to Australia. 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. Tao won the Fields Medal in 2006 and won the Royal Medal and Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics in 2014. Tao was born to ethnic Chinese immigrant parents and raised in Adelaide. 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.
