Academic Geneology of Dr. Ankur Mali
Please find Dr. Ankur Mali's academic geneology below. This information was obtained from Dr. C. Lee Giles' webpage, who was the Academic Advisor of Dr. Ankur Mali at Pennsylvania State University. The Mathematics Genealogy Project is a wonderful tool for tracing academic lineage.
His students are part of the following legacy.
His advisor was Professor C. Lee Giles, Ph.D. University of Arizona.
Lee's 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, Nobel Laureate, Ph.D. University of Leipzig.
Bloch’s advisor was Professor Werner Karl Heisenberg, Nobel Laureate, Ph.D. University of Munich.
Heisenberg’s advisor was Professor Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld, Ph.D. University of Königsberg.
Sommerfeld studied mathematics and physical sciences and became a theoretical physicist. He is notable for having four of his students, three of his postdocs, and one student's student being awarded the Nobel Prize. He was nominated 81 times for the Nobel Prize but never received it.
Sommerfeld’s advisor was Professor C. L. Ferdinand Lindemann, Ph.D. Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
