Cabrera Estanyol, Ferran de (Date of defense: 2023-07-03)
(English) A great deal is known about second-order statistics. For many years, most of the signal processing problems have been addressed under the perspective of the first and second-order moments of ...
Castañar Pérez, Inocencio (Date of defense: 2023-07-24)
(English) Topology optimization of incompressible structures, in which the loads on the structure come from the stresses exerted by a surrounding fluid, is a highly complex problem. This work presents ...
Oks, David (Date of defense: 2023-07-17)
(English) Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) provides a powerful cost- and time-efficient tool to access detailed mechanistic information of biomedical problems, which is not accessible in ...
Barceló Mercader, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-09-08)
(English) Flexoelectricity is a two-way coupling between strain gradient and polarisation or strain and polarization-gradient. Harnessing flexoelectricity as a functional property requires gradient ...
Urtiaga Erneta, Iñigo (Date of defense: 2023-07-04)
(English) This PhD dissertation deals with qualitative questions from the theory of elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and integro-differential equations. We are primarily interested in a ...
