Huh, not sure why Stephen Boyd is not included in the Stanford list, but John Duchi is (if you’re reading this John, I’m only a little sorry! ;). He’s on the top 10 highest citation count of all Stanford professors behind essentially Hastie and Tibshirani (both of <i>Elements of Statistical Learning</i> fame), and both of which I’m also surprised are not included, even though they can all advise CS-only students.<p>This is a bit silly of course because Stanford has a full cross-department policy, where the student’s department and their PhD advisors can be <i>completely unrelated</i>. (I’m not exaggerating at all when I’m saying this, and this policy also includes the Business and Medicine schools. There are EE professors who have business school students even without a courtesy appointment in the school of business. Similar things happen in the Medical school, etc.)<p>I wonder how that (for Stanford and other schools) would change the rankings.
