Graduate Theses and Disserations Supervised
Graduate theses and disserations that I have (co-)supervised

The following table lists all of the master's theses and essays and doctoral dissertations for graduate students I supervised or co-supervised while I have been at The University of British Columbia. Links to a PDF version of the documents are provided when available. Co-supervisors are listed in the last column if I was not the sole supervisor.

Eventually this will be augmented with theses, essays, and disserations from when I was a faculty member at the University of Waterloo. It is unlikely links to PDF files will be available for those documents because it appears that Waterloo does not have them on-line (yet).

Click on a column header to sort (up or down) by that column. For doctoral students, click on "PhD" to see a list of their offspring.
