bio
Tadashi Tokieda is a professor of mathematics at Stanford. He grew up in Japan as a painter, became a classical philologist (not to be confused with philosopher) in France, worked a little as a plumber, before earning a PhD in pure mathematics from Princeton then practicing applied mathematics throughout the world. Active in outreach, especially via the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the YouTube channel Numberphile, he gave public lectures at the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians 2018, 2022, and is slated to speak again at the ICM 2026.
