THESIS TALK 2021
Thesis Talk is the annual UC3M event that challenges our Ph.D. students to present their research project for a non-specialist audience in just 3 minutes. The 2021 edition of Thesis Talk has been entirely converted to an online format.
On July 20th, the Jury of the final awarded prizes of € 900, € 600 and € 300 to the presentations listed below:
- First Prize: El futuro ha llegado a los quirófanos. Alicia Pose Díez de la Lastra. Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and Engineering.
- Second Prize: Multi-component alloys: Defining the new age of materials. S. Venkatesh Kumaran. Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering.
- Third Prize: Generación de folículos in vitro. Cristina Quílez. Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and Engineering.
Full session: Thesis Talk 2021 Final
The members of the Jury have evauated the presentations according to the evaluation criteria below.
The presentation:
- Focuses on research work and personal contribution
