PhD graduates: Where Are They Now

In addition to the Tonmeister list of alumni jobs page, we try to maintain a similar list for alumni from the PhD programme. Where we've come across a web page mentioning a PhD graduate, we've added a link to the list below, which is ordered by year of graduation. Note: this is not a complete list of graduates—it just shows those we've been able find named on an appropriate web page, so there will probably also be graduates doing all sorts of things that aren't covered here. If you know of a link that we could add, or of anything here that's out-of-date, or if we've included you and you'd rather we hadn't, then please email the webmaster. Thanks.
