My Academic Genealogy

Here's my academic lineage, where every person in the list is the PhD supervisor of the person above them. I am proud to be a descendant of these great scholars who contributed so much to science and engineering.

Billur Barshan, PhD, Yale University, 1991
Roman Kuc, PhD, Columbia University, 1977
Mischa Schwartz, PhD, Harvard University, 1951
Philippe E. Le Corbeiller, PhD, Universite de Paris, 1926
C. Emile Picard, PhD, Ecole Normale Superieure Paris, 1877
Gaston Darboux, PhD, Ecole Normale Superieure Paris, 1866
Michel Chasles, PhD, Ecole Polytechnique, 1814
Simeon Denis Poisson, PhD, Ecole Polytechnique, 1800

Poisson had two advisors, Laplace and Lagrange:
1) Pierre-Simon Laplace, M.A., Universite de Caen, 1769
Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, M.A., College Mazarin, 1735
(d'Alembert's advisor is unknown, this branch ends here)

2) Joseph Louis Lagrange
(Apparently he had no degree, but Euler is included to ``show a connection in our intellectual heritage.'')
Leonhard Euler, PhD, Universitat Basel, 1726
Johann Bernoulli, Medicinae Dr., Universitat Basel, 1694

Johann Bernoulli had two advisors.
(The list goes deeper, including Leibniz, Huygens, Copernicus, and many others, supposedly up to as early as Nasir al-Din Tusi.)
