Terry Tao

At just 29 years of age, Adelaide born Terry Tao had already made extraordinary contributions to the mathematical sciences. His work on a wide variety of problems in mathematical analysis, and on the existence of arithmetic sequences of primes, has been recognised by the conferring of honours of great distinction. More generally, his discoveries have revitalised and energised mathematics on a very broad front, from number theory to mathematical physics and statistics. Throughout he has maintained close contact with Australian mathematics and Australian mathematicians, enriching science in this country through his striking achievements.
