My experience in the PhD program at hte University of Iowa, dept of Management Sciences and School of Library and Information Sciences was a nightmare! I will write a book about it! It ruined my life and career! My "advisor" was completely incompetent, she harassed me, she blackmailed me with the student visa to do her research and to do a thesis for her…she lied about my academic situation, she finally made me look incompetent, she made up some items and an "experiment" that she invented that i did not complete! I have spent 6 years working day and nights, I was overworked, I have worked also to pay my tuition, I have found a job and wrote a thesis just by myself, locking myself in my house, and in the end, she made up some emials and an experiment that i was not finishing…she went to the dean and to the graduate coordinator in Management Sciences and to the Chair and she…lied about my academic situation. She said that I have a mental problem and I will never finish my thesis (after I wrote about 10 different thesis)…and warned me to find a job in Europe. she insulted me a several times, she said I am not good and I should do a masters in a different area…and actually I was the one explaining her…and doing all the work…She lied a number of times…she is desperate to force someone to do her a thesis…i felt as she olmost kidnapped me…she was trying to force me to change my research interest and do a thesis in HER research sarea…which was inexistant…I felt as she stole my identity.she was trying to isolate me from the other professors, and then was sending emials to everybody saying the opposite…that I have to collaborate with her as an advisor and all professors in my committee…

actually this is a technique she used a several times…saying the opposite…

She is a lier, a thief, I have no simphaty for thieves like her who pretend to be 'professors'. she is an impostor. She is lying all the time…without blinking…

I was runnig experiments for example and writting a thesis and showing her, and she was telling everybody behind my back that I did not do anything…
