Acad. Genealogy

The following provides information about my education and academic descendants and predecessors.

After graduating with a B.S. in Physics at Iowa State University in 1964, I completed the M.S. and Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University Illinois, Champaign-Urbana in 1966 and 1969, respectively, where I was an NSF Graduate Fellow (and a TA).

My doctoral advisor was the recursion theorist Tom McLaughlin. His advisor was the model theorist Chen-Chung Chang then at UCLA. Chen-Chung Chang's advisor was the well-known mathematical logician Alfred Tarski then at UC Berkeley. Tarski's advisor was Stanislaw Lefniewski at Warsaw University.

Below are listed my completed Ph.D. students, and some of their completed Ph.D. students---my Grandstudents. Also included are some of my Great Grandstudents. Descent is shown by indention. All finished in computer science unless otherwise noted. Many links may be out of date.

My Academic Descendants:

My first student, Dan Moore, graduated from the University of Kansas. All the rest, except the last four, graduated from SUNY/Buffalo. The last four (so far) graduated from UD.

The list of Grandstudents and Great Grandstudents is incomplete at this time. The URL pointers are also incomplete at this time.

• [1974] Daniel Moore, Qwest, Englewook, CO.
  
  Dan completed one or two Ph.D. students while he was at Ohio State. One, listed, below, Ker-I Ko, was co-advised by the well-know mathematical logician Harvey Friedman. (Thanks to the vagaries of OSU's rules, their records show a figurehead third party as Ker-I's official advisor.)
