Raúl Bombín Escudero defended his thesis, co-directed by Jordi Boronat Médico and Fernando Pablo Mazzanti Castrillejo on December 13 on the North Campus titled "Ultracold bose and fermi dipolar gases: a quantum Monte Carlo study", the thesis presents a study on dipolar systems in the degenerate quantum regimen.

Rafael Levit Valenzuela defends his thesis on ferroelectric materials

Herbert Donatus Halpaap defended his thesis co-directed by Cristina Masoller and Meritxell Vilaseca Ricart on December 9 at the Terrassa Campus entitled "Experimental study of speckle generated by semiconductor light sources: application in double-pass images", the thesis presents a study on the effect of a vibrating mirror to reduce speckle interferometry in lasers

Jorge Enrique defended his thesis coadvised by Daniel Crespo and Eloi Pineda on the 28th of June in Campus del Besos. Entitled "Study of the elastic inhomogeneity in metallic glass in the mesoscale", the thesis presents an analysis of the anisotropy of glasses using molecular dynamics simulations

Dario Zappalà defended his work last April on air temperature dynamics and climate change under the direction of Cristina Masoller in the Nonlinear Dynamics, Nonlinear Optics and Lasers group.

Pablo Amil defended his doctoral thesis supervised by Cristina Masoller, in the ETSIAAT in Terrassa on February 11, 2020. Titled "Machine learning methods for the characterization and classification of complex data", the thesis presents several automatic learning methods focused particularly on the analysis of ophthalmological images, and complex data in general. The results presented in the thesis show how the proposed artificial intelligence methods are able to distinguish healthy eyes from sick eyes

María Masoliver defended her thesis supervised by Cristina Masoller on February 20 at the Terrassa Campus. Titled `` Neuronal encoding and transmission of weak periodic signals '', the thesis presents a temporal neuronal code based not on the time in which neurons trigger action potentials but on the relative time between them and demonstrates that it is a plausible mechanism for encode information from weak periodic external stimuli.

Student Nura Mohammad Rabiu Ahmad virtually defended her thesis co-directed by Clara Prats and Daniel López on July 20. The thesis entitled “Multiapproach computational modeling of tuberculosis. Understanding its epidemiological dynamics for improving its control in Nigeria ",

Mohamed Selim presents his thesis co-directed by Crina Cojocaru (Dept. of Physics) and Miguel Delgado tight (Dept. of Electronic Engineering), on July 21 at the Terrassa Campus. Titled "Hybrid senar-destructive technique for volumetric defect analysis and reconstruction by remote laser induced ultrasound"

Joan Francesc Gilabert Navarro defended his thesis directed by Victor Guallar of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) on July 22 at the North Campus. Titled "Estimation of binding free energies with Monte Carlo atomistic simulations and enhanced sampling", the thesis presents the development of a method to predict affinity in protein-ligand systems, with the aim of accelerating the development of new drugs.
