| Aug 12, 2015 at 12:38 | comment | added | Zach H | One of the professors I had in graduate school had two Ph.D,'s in math. His advisor switched universities mid-degree, and he got degrees at both institutions writing separate theses on different topics. | |

| Jun 1, 2012 at 16:26 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | "Are there any general merits/downsides to earning 2 PhDs, given you are assured of a research career after a good first one?" The premise is very questionable: a good PhD by no means "assures" a research career. | |
| Jun 1, 2012 at 10:12 | comment | added | Dave Clarke | His PhDs are in CS and Maths. He holds professor positions at CS departments of 3 different universities. | |
| Jun 1, 2012 at 10:08 | comment | added | TCSGrad | @DaveClarke: I know you can't reveal the identify of your acquaintance with such stellar credentials, but could you at least tell us what were the fields of his doctoral degrees (something related like Maths and CS perhaps)? | |
