Stephen Albert Fulling (born 29 April 1945, Evansville, Indiana) is an American mathematician and mathematical physicist, specializing in the mathematics of quantum theory, general relativity, and the spectral and asymptotic theory of differential operators.
[2] After secondary education at Missouri's Lindbergh High School,[3] Fulling graduated in 1967 with A.B.
[4] His thesis Scalar Quantum Field Theory in a Closed Universe of Constant Curvature was supervised by Arthur Wightman.
At Texas A&M University he joined the mathematics faculty in 1976[3] and was promoted to full professor in 1984.
[4] In addition to more than a hundred papers and publications, he has authored two books, Aspects of Quantum Field Theory in Curved Space-Time (Cambridge University Press, 1989) and Linearity and the Mathematics of Several Variables (World Scientific, 2000).
