    Industrial PhD Dissertation Defense

    Universitat de Barcelona (UB) - BBVA AI Factory

    Mon 18th of July, 2022 | Barcelona

    Today, I am glad to announce I will be defending my Industrial PhD Dissertation.

    A first copy of the dissertation can be found here:

    AleatoricUncertainty.pdf

    Soon, we will:

    (1) Add the formal information to reference its content.

    (2) Update this blog for a web version of the PhD dissertation.

    (3) Publish new related results.

    Stay tuned via social networks!

    Thank you all.

    Best Regards
