Thomas Marbory Antonsen (born 7 December 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, Potomac, MD

He graduated from Cornell University wth 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.

He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2012[3] for contributions to the theory of magnetically confined plasmas, laser-plasma interactions and high power coherent radiation sources and then 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".[4]

He is the 2016 recipient of the John Pierce Award for Excellence in Vacuum Electronics.[5]

He is married with 3 children.[6]
