Warwick Tucker is an Australian mathematician at Uppsala University who works on dynamical systems, chaos theory and computational mathematics.[1] He is a recipient of the 2002 R. E. Moore Prize,[2] and the 2004 EMS Prize.[3]

Tucker obtained his Ph.D. in 1998 at Uppsala University (thesis: The Lorenz attractor exists) with Lennart Carleson as advisor.[4]

In 2002, Tucker succeeded in solving an important open problem that had been posed by Stephen Smale (the fourteenth problem on Smale's list of problems).[5]
