Thomas Greytak is the Lester Wolfe Professor of Physics, emeritus, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His areas of research include experimental low temperature condensed matter physics and superfluid systems.[2] Currently, he is working with Daniel Kleppner on research concerning ultra cooled atomic hydrogen.

All of his academic degrees are from MIT (SB and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering (1963) and a PhD in Physics (1967)).[2]

He was married to Elizabeth Bardeen, daughter of Nobel Laureate, John Bardeen.
