After secondary education at Missouri's Lindbergh High School,[3] Fulling graduated in 1967 with A.B. in physics from Harvard University. At Princeton University he became a graduate student in physics and received M.S. in 1969 and Ph.D. in 1972.[4] His thesis Scalar Quantum Field Theory in a Closed Universe of Constant Curvature was supervised by Arthur Wightman.[5] Fulling was a postdoc from 1972 to 1974 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and from 1974 to 1976 at King's College London. At Texas A&M University he joined the mathematics faculty in 1976[3] and was promoted to full professor in 1984. In addition to mathematics, he holds a joint appointment in physics and astronomy.[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).[3]
