I should be here, but my advisor was added only last summer and his student list is incomplete https://academictree.org/robotics/tree.php?pid=757776 …

Interesting tracing his lineage. His advisor was a particle physicist. Goes back through people I’ve never heard of to Fritz Haber... had no idea he was my ancestor!

Who goes back to Gmelin... who goes back to both Brahe and Kepler, via one Ambrosius Rhodius... Omg, I’m descended from Kepler!

Unfortunately Kepler was a great-grandstudent of Martin Luther, so I have to live with that https://academictree.org/physics/tree.php?pid=11239 …

And not much before that, everyone is from Constantinople. Man history is a thing!

This is amazing! I could trace my lineage there - though certain branch is missing because it is not direct primary PhD supervisor thing.

Apparently I am just 6 steps away from Niels Bohr in direct teacher-student chain.

I infer from this that he was a really good PhD supervisor, at the pivotal point in European physics.

I’ve been casually looking around to find other people who have large numbers of descendants. It probably follows a power law, blah blah. But it would be interesting to see what correlates with it.
