Ph.D. Students
It begins with me/us challenging them, and ends with them teaching us some things that we never knew... they go from bright and eager first year PhD students, to struggling with research for the first time to co-authors. It's truly a wonderful transformation to be a part of.
Three Generations of Students
One of the great things about being at the University of Minnesota is that it has given me a chance to get involved with teaching and advising PhD students. Minnesota has been known for its students for years and I'm very lucky to have been involved with a great group of them during the time I've been here.
One of the best things about the program is the collection of PhD student workshops that we run. In these, a group of advanced students meet regularly (e.g., weekly in our case) with a couple of faculty members to try out their research ideas. It can be a bloody scene, but it is always a learning one as well.
My former advisees - where are they now?
The students I have worked with in the past and am working with now are a remarkable bunch. Here is a list of some that I have worked particularly closely with and who are now out in the cold real world making me proud....
