Academic Genealogy of Professor C. Lee Giles

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Please find below my academic or intellectual legacy.  Note that it starts in the field of physics and then changes with Professor Sommerfeld to mathematics. Much of the mathematics genealogy can be found through the Mathematics Genealogy Project, an excellent resource.

My advisor was Professor Harrison H. Barrett, Ph.D. Harvard University.

 

Barrett’s advisor was Professor R. Victor Jones, Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley.

 

Jones’ advisor was Professor Carson D. Jeffries, Ph.D. Stanford University.

 

Jeffries’ advisor was Professor Felix Bloch, Ph.D. University of Leipzig.

 

Bloch’s advisor was Professor Werner Karl Heisenberg, Ph.D. University of Munich.

 

Heisenberg’s advisor was Professor Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld, Ph.D. University of Königsberg.

 

Sommerfeld’s advisor was Professor C. L. Ferdinand Lindemann, Ph.D. Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.

 

Lindemann’s advisor was Professor Felix C. Klein, Ph.D. Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn.

 

When dissertation students had two advisors, both are listed.

 

Klein’s advisors were Professor Julius Plücker, Ph.D. Philipps-Universität Marburg, and Professor Rudolf Lipschitz, Dr. phil. Universität Berlin.

 

Plücker’s advisor was Professor Christian Ludwig Gerling, Dr. phil. Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

 

Gerling’s advisor was Professor Carl Friedrich Gauß, Ph.D. Universität Helmstedt. 

 

Back to Lipschitz, his advisors were Professor Gustav Peter Lejeune Dirichlet, honorary Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, and Professor Martin Ohm, Dr. phil. Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.

 

Dirichlet’s advisors were Professor Simeon Denis Poisson, Ph.D., and Professor Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, Ph.D. 

 

 

At this point I refer interested parties who want to continue the lineage to the Mathematics Genealogy Project.
