| Jun 7, 2013 at 3:54 | comment | added | Deane Yang | I had two classmates at Harvard who worked under Guillemin at MIT (which admittedly is rather close to Harvard). And there was Curt McMullen who somehow managed to work with Dennis Sullivan. That turned out pretty well. | |
| Jun 7, 2013 at 3:46 | comment | added | Joseph Van Name | I am one of exceptions. I worked in a totally different area than my advisor who was also in a different country every other semester. I turned out fine I guess. I guess that I am one of those independent people. | |
| Jun 7, 2013 at 3:12 | comment | added | Chris Godsil | I do not doubt that there are exceptions, but I would certainly not agree to act as advisor B. | |
| Jun 7, 2013 at 3:09 | comment | added | Deane Yang | It doesn't always work out badly, but the student has to be quite strong and relatively independent. In my view the student should do it only if the area B advisor is enthusiastic about supervising the student. Otherwise, it is indeed likely to work out badly. | |
