Papers from my master’s thesis published:

I finished my masters about seven years ago from Penn State. Over the weekend on a whimsical note, I was doing a cursory search on the internet for any references to the work I had done as part of my masters.
I had not expected to get any results whatsoever - but I was pleasantly surprised to see the following seven papers published in the journals and cnoference proceedings and thought I should share this with you...

Maybe I should have pursued on... (who knows?)

This paper has a better abstract here.

Perturbation theory for attenuation of a surface acoustic wave employed in my thesis also gets mention here. (Section 7 in the paper and reference 28)
