Computational Mathematics Ph. D. thesis committees, on 1 in
Geodetic Science at The Ohio State University, and on 5 more such
committees abroad (in Physics, Mathematics, and Electrical
Engineering in Germany, the UK and Australia); on 17 Geosciences
and 1 Applied Mathematics General Exam committees at
Princeton and 2 M. Sc. thesis committees abroad (both in
Canada).
Undergraduate: At Princeton I have advised 7 Junior
