Doctoral Dissertations Written Under Supervision of A Adrian Albert


We list below 30 students who have been awarded doctorates advised by Adrian Albert together with the date they were awarded their Ph.D. and the title of their thesis. All these were awarded their doctorates by the University of Chicago, except Marguerite Josephine Straus Frank who received her Ph.D. from Harvard University. We note that the majority went on to academic careers and advised their own Ph.D. students.
