Thalia Kruger, born on 22 January 1976 in Cape Town. Studied law at the University of Stellenbosch, where the first encounter with private international law came from the Professor of Public International Law, Gerhard Erasmus. The hybrid nature of South African law (as a mixed legal system) and the importance of respecting fundamental rights were seminal in the law education.

Also served as a recording secretary and consultant for the Hague Conference on Private International Law, particularly on the judgments project and the start of the project on choice of law. After her PhD, worked at a non-profit organization to give legal advice in international family matters. Taught international commercial transactions, international arbitration and conflict-of-laws at the University of Cape Town (2007-2008). Worked on EU-funded research projects on international child abduction and religious diversity in international family law (2009 and 2010). Professor of Private International Law (since 2010) at the University of Antwerp. Her research continues to focus on various aspects of private international law, especially international and European civil procedure and international family law. This takes place individually, with colleagues and in European consortia. Honorary research associate at the University of Cape Town and co-teaches international commercial transactions there.
