We are very happy to announce that our colleague Patricia has successfully defended her PhD thesis today, receiving the distinction of Cum laude!

The defense was evaluated by Prof. Javier Luque, Dr. Laura Pérez-Benito, and Prof. Julien Michel, whom we warmly thank for their time, thoughtful questions, and valuable feedback.

Patricia gave an excellent defense after all her work and dedication she has shown throughout her PhD.

Beyond her scientific achievements, Patricia has been a wonderful member of our group, and we are incredibly happy to celebrate this important milestone with her. We are very proud of everything she has accomplished and excited to see where the next chapter of her career takes her.

Congratulations, Dr Blanco-Gabella! We wish you every success for the future!
