iii. Doctoral Theses, as Supervisor
(I was the supervisor of two dissertations at MIT until I moved to Maryland in
January 2001. I continued to serve as co-supervisor for Ming Zhang and
committee member for Mizuki Kawabata until they were completed. I was the
supervisor of two dissertations at Maryland until I left for the University of
Washington in September 2009. I continued to supervise Feng Zhang until he
finished the dissertation, even though Marie Howland signed it off as official
committee chair; I continued to supervise Chao Liu until she completed most of
the research.)

vi. Master’s Theses at Nanjing University, China, as Examiner
During my appointment as Siyuan Chair Professor at Nanjing University, 2005-2008, I
reviewed 7 Master’s theses and wrote evaluations on them.
During my appointment as Peng Cheng visiting professor at Peking University-Shenzhen
Graduate School, I reviewed 2 Master’s theses and 1 PhD dissertation and wrote
evaluations on them.
Notes:
The urban planning Ph.D. program at University of Maryland started in 2002.
The urban planning Master’s program at University of Maryland does not require
students to write a thesis. It instead requires a final paper. I supervised, or served as a
reader of, many final papers from 2001 to 2009. I also served on committees for
graduating scholar papers in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
