Born in Scotland but spending the majority of her life in Australia, Gross is currently Professor of Gifted Education at the University of New South Wales School of Education.

Her interest in gifted children started with a study of child prodigy Terence Tao, now a professor of mathematics at UCLA and winner of the Fields Medal in 2006.

There are currently 60 highly gifted children in her ongoing study. Gross advocates radical acceleration for exceptionally and profoundly gifted children.
