Thomas Faulkner is a string theorist and associate professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, born in Melbourne, Australia. His undergraduate work was in physics at the University of Melbourne in Australia, from which he graduated in 2003.
His graduate work was in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Faulkner obtained his Ph.D. in 2009. His thesis examined the use of string theory techniques to study quantum chromodynamics (QCD) under extreme conditions. He has held postdoctoral positions at the University of California, Santa-Barbara (2009-2012), and at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey (2012-2013), where he became interested in entanglement entropy and the role it plays in fundamental aspects of quantum gravity. He became an assistant professor of physics at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 2014.
