advised by (Prof.) xyz


Explanation:
Creio ser isso, já que ele é o advisor.

Aparentemente, quer dizer, a se julgar pelo Google, é bastante comum omitir o "Prof.", indo direto ao nome do "advisor".

Well... ignore o comentário sobre a omissão do "Prof.". Há milhares de ocorrências dizendo "Professor".

agree  Fiona Stephenson: or Professor such-and-such. 'Supervised' is the correct term for orientada, if the context is that the professor is acting as the student's academic supervisor

Não, aqui no Brasil mesmo... tínhamos que enviar artigos em inglês para publicação em revistas científicas estrangeiras, e era essa a terminologia usada. ;-)

Asker: o prof orientador de mestrado é um 'supervisor'?

agree  lexical: Masters and PhD's are 'supervised', and the prof orientador is the 'supervisor'. This is the correct academic usage; all the other options are only correct in GENERAL usage, not in academe.
