Terence Tao was born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975. He has been a professor of mathematics at UCLA since 1999, having completed his PhD under Elias Stein at Princeton in 1996. Tao’s areas of research include harmonic analysis, PDE, combinatorics, and number theory. He has received a number of awards, including the Salem Prize in 2000, the Fields Medal in 2006, the MacArthur Fellowship in 2007, the Crafoord prize in 2012, and the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics in 2015. Terence Tao also holds the James and Carol Collins chair in mathematics at UCLA, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Australian Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. From 2020-2024, he served on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Professor Zvi Bern, a UCLA faculty member since 1992, is internationally renowned for his development of innovative approaches to the calculation of fundamental quantities relevant to the interpretation of scattering processes at the subnuclear level. He has also received widespread attention for recent advances in understanding the ultra-high energy properties of supergravity theories. His work is characterized by inspired utilization of the most advanced theoretical methods to carry out complex computations of physical importance. He has developed and applied new ideas for computing and understanding scattering amplitudes to physics at the Large Hadron Collider, to maximally supersymmetric gauge and gravity theories and most recently to gravitational wave physics.
In 2014, Professor Bern, along with his collaborators Lance Dixon (SLAC) and David Kosower (Saclay), received the J.J. Sakurai Prize from the American Physical Society, the highest honor that society can bestow for theoretical work in elementary particle physics. In 2023, again together with Dixon and Kosower, he received the Galileo Galilei Medal from the INFN and Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics.
