Research Students
Graduate students engaged in research are at the core of a Research-One
department. Just as the workers of an organization are its greatest assets,
the graduate students of a research group are its greatest assets.
I feel fortunate to work with every one of my research students, listed below.
Their own web pages are linked when they are available.
Prospective students, please feel free to get in touch with
my current and former students; indeed I encourage you to do so.
The list below includes graduation dates and thesis titles (tentative for
current students). The theses themselves are not linked from here. All
completed theses can be obtained from the
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
webpage of the D H Hill Library. You can find papers authored by current and
former students in the "Papers" page (linked above).
