This is an old revision of the document!
This is the beginning stage of a Berkeley Academic Genealogy.
Notes:
- The format of this wiki is somewhat limiting:
- Current and former Berkeley faculty members appear in blue boxes.
- If PhD was received from Berkeley, only a year is cited after name; otherwise (year; university).
- Boxes cannot span rows, so this can cause some formatting headaches.
- Some students were co-advised; if formatting prevents an easy display, then the student is listed twice, once under each advisor.
- Branches stop at either Berkeley PhD students or Berkeley faculty members; students of Berkeley PhD students (who didn't somehow spawn a Berkeley faculty member) are not included.
- Complete student lists are only included for current and former Berkeley faculty members and only students who received their PhDs from Berkeley are included.
- This whole thing would be more easily assembled in HTML. Someday. Maybe.
