Note: Robert Cutter has written a very nice LaTeX package that is more modern than this one: GarenSidonius/ASU-Dissertation-Template. I like what he has done! My template is based on my 1999 UIUC disseration, rewritten to meet ASU's guidelines. Robert has a great background in electronic document preparation and lots of experience helping people use new technologies. I think either package should work well, so please use whatever you find easiest and most comfortable for you.

Please post your questions to the asudis forum. I would suggest using that forum for both this package as well as Robert Cutter's ASU-Dissertation-Template, as it would be great to have a common forum for discussions.

I've used this template with about a half-dozen students' Ph. D. dissertations, and I believe many more people have used it. The current files pass the format requirements as of fall 2014.

Please contribute your own corrections. By sharing this we are trying to make things easier for all students using LaTeX for the dissertations at ASU.

Here are some recent examples of dissertations formatted with these LaTeX style files:

• Dr. Daryn Benson, "First principles exploration of crystal structures and physical properties of silicon hydrides KSiH3 and K2SiH6, alkali and alkaline earth metal carbides, and II-V semiconductors ZnSb and ZnAs.", Physics 2013.
• Dr. Jianhen Liu, "Path Integral Monte Carlo Simulations of Quantum Wires", Physics 2012.
• Dr. Joel Lynn, "Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Light Nuclei with Non-Local Potentials", Physics 2013.
• Dr. Natalie Hinkel, "Stellar Abundances in the Solar Neighborhood", Astrophysics 2012.
• Jeremy Wright, "Topic Chains for Determining Risk of Unauthorized Information Transfer", Computer Science, 2014.
• Dr. Avishek Kumar, "Structural Modelling of Two Dimensional Amorphous Materials", Physics 2014

Feel free to email [email protected] if you are a graduating ASU student with LaTeX questions.

We are starting to use jenkins-ci to provide current examples an catch problems quickly. If you don't know what this means, don't worry about it. It's just a cool, automated way to check that the files are working and that sample documents are up-to-date.
