Terence Tao is an Australian-American mathematician and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he holds the James and Carol Collins Chair. He rose to prominence for work spanning partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, combinatorics, and additive number theory, including the Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions of primes proved with Ben Green, and was awarded the Fields Medal in 2006. He is also known for his compressed sensing research with Emmanuel Candes and for his widely read mathematics blog 'What's New.' More recently he has become a prominent commentator on the use of large language models and formal proof assistants like Lean in mathematical research, often noting that AI tools amplify rather than replace domain expertise.
