Many Universities around the world are starting to consider the academic genealogy when recruiting people for academic positions. Academic genealogy may influence research results in areas of active research.
A key parameter used to draw academic genealogy is the PhD pedigree.
The holders of a PhD degree can trace back their academic lineage to a Doctoral supervisor and reconstruct their PhD pedigree.
Thanks to my Doctoral supervisor, Prof. Gilberto Artioli, I have traced back my PhD academic lineage and made an outstanding discover!
No question that diffraction was in my fate!
