Academic lineage

Mathematical Genealogy

Every mathematician begins as an apprentice (graduate student) with a teacher (advisor). An apprentice may later become a teacher with apprentices of their own, continuing a chain known as a mathematical genealogy. Below is my lineage from The Mathematics Genealogy Project; institutions and degree years appear where available.
