Former Students- At the University of Arizona

Welcome to memory lane.  Here is a list of all those people that I had a pleasure to work with during their graduate studies while I was a professor at the University of Arizona.  This list contains their thesis titles, email address (some are even accurate!), and (when possible) a picture or two.  If you know the whereabouts of any of these people and can update this list, please contact me by email, snail mail, or whatever form suits you. For those of you shown here without a picture, please send me one soon.  It can be work, play or whatever setting you choose, and feel free to update these as often as you'd like.
