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.
Students who discontinued their degrees or transferred their enrolments
