Problem

John McCarthy won the Turing Award in 1971 [1]. Two students whose PhD he supervised went on to win Turing Awards:

  • Raj Reddy (1994) [2]



  • Barbara Liskov (2008) [3]



What other Turing Award winners supervised the PhD theses of other Turing Award winners?

Solution

Consulting with the Mathematics Genealogy Project, I was able to find the following thesis advisor relationships:

-
John Hopcroft (1986) advised Alfred Aho (2020)

-
Martin Hellman (2015) advised Whitfield Diffie (2015)

-
Edmund Clarke (2007) advised E. Allen Emerson (2007)

-
Robert Floyd (1978) advised Ron Rivest (2002) and Robert Tarjan (1986)

-
Marvin Minsky (1969) advised Manuel Blum (1995) who subsequently advised Shafi Goldwasser (2012), Silvio Micali (2012), and Len Adleman (2002)

-
Herb Simon (1975) advised Ed Feigenbaum (1994) who subsequently co-advised Niklaus Wirth (1984)
