Notes

For all students listed, I was main supervisor for the period indicated. For students enrolled at other universities, my formal role was external supervisor. After I became an honorary professor, in some cases (*) I had to arrange for a colleague to be principal supervisor while in practice I took the lead role.

Enrolments are at the University of Wollongong unless otherwise indicated. Supervision of honours and masters students is not listed.
