Taubes is the William Petschek Professor of Mathematics at Harvard, working in gauge theory, differential geometry and low-dimensional topology; he proved deep results linking Seiberg–Witten invariants to pseudoholomorphic curves on symplectic four-manifolds. He shared the 2009 Shaw Prize in Mathematics with Simon Donaldson. He is listed among Jewish mathematicians in Jewish biographical references (Jinfo); public biographies do not otherwise detail his religious identity.
