My Research Students
I have been fortunate over the past 50 years to have been the mentor/supervisor of a brilliant galaxy of research students during their PhD research. They have been a wonderful stimulus, and I have gained much from my interactions with them, as I hope they have from me.
Here is a list of these former students with date of PhD (Cambridge unless otherwise stated) and a note of their current position, where this is known to me, as at October 2014.
