MQP Topics for 2017-2018
Because I will be away during A-term, I do not have any three-term MQP projects this year.
I would be happy to brainstorm MQP topics for later terms, particularly involving “Quantum Computing.”
Ph.D. genealogy
I have supervised two Ph.D. dissertations, and those two have gone on to supervise others, and those have gone on to supervise still others, recursively. The chart at the following link is a “genealogy” of my Ph.D. descendants.
