Successful defense of PhD Thesis - done!
December 14, 2020
My PhD Thesis Defense was truly pleasurable! Thanks to a fantastic supervising team - with Ron Boschma, Andrea Morrison, and Pierre-Alexandre Balland - and an outstanding jury committee - with Simona Iammarino, César Hidalgo, Frank Van Oort, Koen Frenken, and Carolina Castaldi - chaired by Beate Volker. And of course, also thanks to my fabulous paranymphs Jorrit Kuiper and Gabriela Farinha, and all my family and friends standing there (virtually!) by my side. Thank you all for this great day I'll never forget <3
