Richard Taylor (born 19 May 1962 ) is a British Mathematician working in the field of Number Theory . A former research student of Andrew Wiles , he returned to Princeton to help his advisor complete the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem . One of the two papers containing the published proof is a joint work of Taylor and Wiles. In subsequent work, Taylor (along with Michael Harris) proved the local Langlands conjectures, and very recently, Taylor also proved the Sato-Tate Conjecture under a mild technical hypothesis which will undoubtedly be removed. He is one of the mathematicians who completed the proof of the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture . He received the Cole Prize of the American Mathematical Society in 2002. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1988 . From 1995 to 1996 he held the Savilian Chair Of Geometry at Oxford University , and he is currently the Herchel Smith Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University . EXTERNAL LINK |
