One of the most gratifying aspects of academia is working with bright students, and seeing them thrive;
I feel most fortunate to have crossed paths with the 36 students below, whose theses I (co)supervised.

For information on their careers after graduation, and for links to the web pages of some of them, click here.

Theses for which no links are given here, can be found at the MIT Theses site.
