Thomas Marbory Antonsen Jr. (born December 7, 1950) is an American physicist, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland.
Antonsen graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. degree in electrical engineering in 1973, an M.S. in 1976 and a Ph.D. in 1977. [1]
He was a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at the Naval Research Laboratory in 1976-77 and a research scientist in the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT from 1977 to 1980. He joined the faculty of the University of Maryland in 1980 as a research assistant, where his research interests include nonlinear dynamics and chaos and plasma theory. [2] He was appointed professor at Maryland in 1989.
Antonsen was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1986 for "contributions to the theory of the stability of high temperature plasmas and the theory of the production of intense ion beams". [3] He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2012 for "contributions to the theory of magnetically confined plasmas, laser-plasma interactions and high power coherent radiation sources". [4]
Antonsen was awarded the 2016 John Pierce Award for Excellence in Vacuum Electronics from IEEE. [5] He was also awarded the 2022 IEEE Marie Sklodowska-Curie Award [6] and the 2023 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics from the American Physical Society. [7]
Antonsen is married with 3 children. [8]
