The following is a mostly-complete listing of published research since
the graduate music engineering program began in 1986. They are listed
in reverse chronological order - highlighting the graduate student author
and the topic of their thesis. Both the thesis abstract and the
entire published thesis are available (for those we have electronic copies
for).
