Włodzisław Duch - Academic Genealogy

• Albert Einstein (1879-1955), Physics, Zurich 1905, "Über Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen"; habilitation 1908, Bern.
• His collaborator: Leopold Infeld, theoretical physics (1898-1968), who worked in Princeton with Einstein (1936-38) and together they wrote "The Evolution of Physics" in 1938 (the book had over 70 editions). Formally Infeld defended his PhD in 1921 under Władysław Natanson.
• His student: Wiesław Woźnicki (1933-95), theoretical physics, Warsaw University, PhD 1958.
• His student: Jacek Karwowski (1940), theoretical physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University, PhD 1966.
• I was the second student who obtained PhD under supervision of prof. Karwowski (1980).
