Hi there,
I am trying to implement a paper (for some time now) but some of the
things done are not at all clear.
Now, the person in question seems to have written a PhD Thesis (in the
USA) about that topic. I hope to find more information in there. But
how do I proceed to obtain it?

If you know the university/department in which the thesis was written,
you could try to contact them directly. If you know the author's
current affiliation, you could contact him/her personally. Another
possibility is to contact "University Microfilms" in Ann Arbor,
Michigan; they have thousands of theses available at a modest cost,
but usually in a small format obtained from magnifying microfilm
images.
