Lineage

Academic Lineage

If I have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants – Sir Isaac Newton

As anyone who has gone through graduate school knows, it is hard to understate the impact of graduate mentors.  In this spirit, our lab has decided to post our academic lineage to acknowledge all of those who trained us, and mentored our mentors.
