Takashi Ono (mathematician)

Takashi Ono (小野 孝 Ono Takashi, born 18 December 1928, Nishinomiya, Japan) is a Japanese-born American mathematician, specializing in number theory and algebraic groups.

Education and career

He received his Ph.D. in 1958 at Nagoya University.^[1] He immigrated to the United States after receiving an invitation from J. Robert Oppenheimer to work at the Institute for Advanced Study with a fellowship for the two academic years 1959–1961^[2] and then went to the University of British Columbia to work as a mathematics professor. From 1963 to 1969 Ono was a tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania. From 1969 to his retirement in 2011 he was a professor at Johns Hopkins University. In 1966 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Moscow.^[2] In 2012 he was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.^[3]

Family

Ono's youngest son is the mathematician Ken Ono,^[4] his middle son is University of Cincinnati President and biomedical researcher Santa J. Ono, and his eldest son is the music professor Momoro Ono.^[5]
