Terence Tao: prime numbers, waves, and MRI scans

Terence Tao, a mathematician and Fields Medal winner, found new ways to think about problems involving waves, prime numbers, and MRI scans. What connects these ideas?

Discover how his curiosity led him to prove, together with Ben Green, that arithmetic progressions of prime numbers of any length exist, and to collaborate with Emmanuel Candès on compressed sensing techniques to reconstruct medical images with fewer measurements. A portrait of his career, his way of working, and his decision to keep doing research.
