Duration of studies and dedication regime
Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.
If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.
For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.
When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.
Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.
Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.
Extension of studies
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student
Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan
Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.
At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.
The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.
If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.
Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director
The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.
The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.
PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.
The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.
A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.
Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.
If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.
The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.
For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.
Permanence
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.
If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Thesis abstract: The study of human's and their behavior through the analysis of images and videos has long been a central topic in Computer Vision. The reconstruction and modeling of human behavior have garnered increasing attention, due to their potential applications in virtual environments, including AR/VR, sports, fashion, and the film industry. Despite this growing interest, accurately capturing and generating the 3D pose and motion of humans remains an important challenge, primarily due to the vast diversity of human movements and the inherent complexity of the human body. Furthermore, the ability to capture and replicate subtle human interactions---such as a hug---that are intuitively understood by humans continues to be a significant obstacle for machines. This complexity arises from the need for a deep understanding of the physical world, its constraints, and the nuanced ways in which humans interact with it.This thesis presents the development of several methodologies for reconstructing and modeling various aspects of humans in 3D, including detailed shape, pose, and motion, mainly from RGB images. A key emphasis is placed on capturing or incorporating contextual information as additional information. First, we introduce a method for modeling the detailed body shape of individuals, which includes elements such as clothing across a wide range of poses. Subsequently, the focus shifts to the simultaneous pose estimation of multiple individuals, wherein scene constraints are employed to enhance the accuracy of these estimations. This approach addresses the fundamental challenges of depth and scale ambiguity inherent in 3D reconstruction. The work is then extended into the temporal domain, to reconstruct interacting individuals, particularly in scenarios involving close interactions. A significant challenge under such situations is the lack of compliance with physical laws, such as body collisions. To address this, we integrate a fully-featured physics simulator within a motion estimation pipeline to account for these physical inconsistencies. Lastly, we propose a method capable of generating human motion that interacts with a virtual environment. All proposed methods have undergone extensive evaluation.In summary, this thesis introduces a suite of tools for the modeling and reconstruction of 3D humans, advancing the field towards more accurate capture and recreation of realistic behavior for virtual humans, with a particular emphasis on their interactions with its surrounding environment.

Thesis abstract: The European Union's (EU) reliance on external energy sources underscores the urgent need for energy security and affordability, driving the transition to renewable energy with wind power as a key renewable solution. However, wind turbine operation and maintenance still account for 30% of energy production costs, due to their prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions. Timely defect detection and repair are critical, as turbines must often be halted during visual inspections and repairs. Streamlining the process from inspection to decision-making is essential to reduce downtime and operational costs.This thesis presents a comprehensive end-to-end blade assessment system designed to determine defect severity, quantify their impact on energy production, and deliver actionable repair recommendations. By enabling wind turbine owners to act proactively, this system helps minimize operational costs. The framework emphasizes efficient image transmission that preserves quality, followed by the generation of detailed blade assessments to establish a consistent and effective repair strategy.To this end, this project proposes first segmenting images to isolate blade regions, simplifying subsequent tasks through algorithms tailored for imagery acquired under diverse conditions. These include a Blade U-Net model, which introduces dense conditional-random-field regularization to enhance segmentation accuracy, and advanced post-processing involving iterative refinement through hole-filling and noise reduction via an unsupervised random forest. Two deep discriminant analysis frameworks integrate class separability and probabilistic modeling into robust non-linear architectures to derive precise defect boundaries, handle complex textures, and improve generalization across varied inspection data. Additional contributions include a modular region-growing classifier for efficient segmentation in data-scarce conditions and diffusion-based models with dual-space augmentation to improve generalization and robustness, leading to substantial superior performance than competing techniques. Together, these segmentation methods form the foundation for automated defect detection and diagnostics.In the second part, to address the challenge of handling large volumes of high-resolution inspection data, this work also presents a novel region-of-interest (ROI) image compression framework. Traditional methods often compromise critical defect information. The proposed framework leverages segmentation outputs to ensure high-fidelity compression in blade regions, employing lossless or high-quality lossy techniques while aggressively compressing non-relevant areas. Key innovations include multi-layer nested latent variable models for lossy coding and parallelized bits-back coding optimized for industrial-scale applications. These advancements achieve state-of-the-art performance while significantly reducing computational costs. By coupling compression with our proposed multi-task defect detection model, this approach supports timely and accurate diagnostics, ensuring minimal disruption to turbine operations.In summary, this thesis contributes a hierarchy of low-level to high-level algorithms designed to streamline wind turbine maintenance processes. The combination of advanced segmentation and compression enables a fully automated pipeline for blade defect assessment, encompassing defect localization, classification, and repair prioritization, directly improving energy efficiency by reducing downtime, optimizing maintenance schedules, and minimizing repair costs.

Thesis abstract: The increasing complexity and demands of modern telecommunications networks necessitate the development of autonomous and secure systems to ensure efficient, reliable, and secure communications. The integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) together with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) into optical networks addresses these needs. This integration enables the creation of networks that can efficiently automate their operations while ensuring the highest standards of security. In this context, this thesis explores the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN) for the advancement of autonomous and secure optical networks, in particular Elastic Optical Networks (EONs). The research focuses on enhancing network efficiency and security to meet the growing complexity and demands for high-capacity, low-latency, and secure communications.The PhD thesis investigates the application of ML, specifically Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to tackle key challenges in the management and optimization of EONs. The primary goal is to develop autonomous and intelligent solutions for dynamic service provisioning, resource allocation, and spectrum management. A significant contribution of this work is the development of novel DRL-based approaches for Routing and Spectrum Assignment (RSA). These methods are designed to adaptively manage network resources in real-time, overcoming the limitations of traditional, static RSA algorithms. By considering latency as a key factor, the DRL-based RSA mechanism ensures the efficient provisioning of latency-sensitive applications and improves overall network performance metrics, such as latency and throughput. The thesis also examines the dynamic provisioning and optimal placement of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) using DRL and GNNs. This combination of technologies enables a more efficient mapping of resource requirements to the physical infrastructure, facilitating scalable and flexible network management systems.The research also includes an experimental validation of the proposed solutions. A proof-of-concept (PoC) was implemented to demonstrate the integration of DRL models within an SDN control plane framework. This involved externalizing path computation to a dedicated entity that assists the SDN controller in the path and spectrum selection function. The experimental results confirmed the practical applicability of the DRL approach in supporting selected control functions in operational EON infrastructures.Furthermore, the research explores the coexistence of Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CV-QKD) and classical channels within EONs, which is essential for ensuring secure communications in the quantum computing era. To address the challenge of noise interference from high-power classical channels on sensitive quantum channels, the thesis introduces dynamic spectrum allocation strategies leveraging SDN. These strategies optimize the use of spectrum resources and minimize noise interference, ensuring secure and efficient operation of the integrated network.In summary, this thesis provides significant advancements in the field of autonomous and secure optical networks by integrating advanced ML techniques, contributing to the development of agile, high-capacity, reliable, and secure EONs for future telecommunications.

Thesis abstract: This thesis focuses on the office building for Bacardí y Cía S. A. in Tultitlán, Mexico, which Mies van der Rohe and his team designed and built from 1958 to 1961. Several Mexican companies – Knoll Internacional de México S. A., Constructora Maya, Campos hermanos and SACMAG de México– were involved in the process. For its construction, Mies’ architects –Gene Summers, Jan Lippert and Friedrich Wagner– made dozens of trips from Chicago to Tultitlán, while Mies visited Mexico only once. The thesis has two main objects of study. The first is the archive of the building, which contains about a thousand documents related to the Mexican building stored in the Mies van der Rohe archive at MoMA –hundreds of letters, telegrams, photographs, sketches and plans. The second is the architecture itself, whose peculiar materiality is contrasted with the information in the archive.The Tultitlán building is placed on the margins of the history of Mexican architecture, of Mies' history and, therefore, of Western architectural history. However, by extracting the object from that marginal position and forcing it to take a central position, it drags with it an entire architectural culture and forces the hegemonic discourses of those histories to reconstruct themselves, or at least to be questioned. The unprejudiced dissection of the archive and its building puts to the test historian Manfredo Tafuri's dictum that positioning oneself at “a particular angle of observation allows facts mute in themselves to be forced to become eloquent.” Among others, the archive forces us to place ourselves in the particular angle of vision of its secondary characters in order to understand them as principal and eloquent; from the foreshortening of a marginal city for the history of Western architecture that shows us that it became actually an international center; in the standpoint of a technological and constructive reality that allowed the materialization of a Mies building, but with methods different from those of a rich country; among many others. The research does not hide an inevitable conflict between the “historical word” of our present and that of the documents of another era -because the letters, plans, publications and films used in this research were created in a reality that no longer exists-. In other words, on the one hand, the documents were forced to speak in a language unknown to them –ours– and, at the same time, they were allowed to speak freely, without trying to hide their contradictions for the sake of a supposed historical or scientific congruence acceptable for the present. The collision of times forced to seek support in other languages, disciplines and characters –from Florence Schust Knoll and Lina Bo, to popular office cinema– to make intelligible the transnational context that allowed the existence of the objects of study of this thesis: the archive of the Bacardi offices in Tultitlán and its architecture.

Thesis abstract: The thesis is composed, apart from the general introduction, of four interconnected chapters but which could be independent. The first is an overview of the evolution of fortification from antiquity to the middle of the 20th century. The second is the development of fortification in defensive enclosures since the middle of the 19th century, taking into account the curtains and bastions that gradually became low until they became covered caponiers, bastions that in principle are small forts that are part of a set but which could be independent in isolated forts, with crenellated galleries, embrasures with artillery pieces or plans protected only by parapets to place cannons to fire uncovered, and at the back of everything the tower divided into floors where the slingshots are located with the pieces to shoot at a long distance, both in slingshots under cover and pieces located on parapet at the highest point. Tortosa is taken as an excuse, because its case can be extrapolated to others in Catalonia. The fourth part is the realization of the bunker figure. There are enough cases here because unfortunately Catalonia, like the rest of the State, suffered a civil war. In this part, you can see how the bunkers were foreseen and how they gradually materialized with normalizing models that already came from before. Finally, the last part is the concrete explanation of the evolution of the bunker caponera and how it has become more and more camouflaged and more armored as the destructive power of the weaponry increases, how the traditional fortification has disappeared .

Thesis abstract: Motion estimation problems can range from low degrees of freedom (DOF) ego-motion estimation to complex, high-DOF motion, which includes dense pixel displacement or optical flow. This information is essential for enabling robots to perceive and navigate their environments. However, existing vision systems for motion estimation are less robust and efficient than biological systems, largely due to limitations in sensor technology and processing methods. This thesis builds on the bio-inspired sensor -event camera-, and the brain-inspired computing approach -Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)-, presenting a promising solution that bridges these gaps. Event-based cameras have high temporal resolution, low latency, reduced data redundancy, and are power efficient. These unique capabilities make them particularly well-suited for environments and tasks where traditional frame-based cameras struggle. They show great potential for the solution of motion estimation problems across a wide range of applications, such as providing accurate and low-latency motion estimation for autonomous vehicles or aerial robots. SNNs are inspired by how neurons in the human brain communicate through synapses using spikes, which are brief and discrete electrical signals that allow highly efficient and robust information processing. The thesis begins with estimating 3-DOF ego-motion, progresses to sparse optical flow, and ultimately tackles dense optical flow. In the first step, the thesis addresses event-based ego-motion estimation by integrating SNN approaches with traditional optimization-based techniques. It explores the ego-motion estimation problem from inference optical flow obtained by an SNN and proposes a pooling method to address the aperture problem encountered in the sparse and noisy normal flow output of the SNN. In the next step, modern artificial neural network (ANN) architectures are leveraged to improve event-based optical flow estimation. This step proposes a U-Net transformer-based architecture with a recurrent neural network as the backbone. In the final phase of this research, the visual transformer architecture is further extended to flow encoders, incorporating spatiotemporal attention to enhance the extraction of temporal information. This led to the development of a swin transformer-based ANN model and its spiking counterpart. Notably, this work marks the first use of spikeformers in event-based optical flow estimation, demonstrating the potential of combining transformer architectures with SNNs for regression tasks. Overall, this thesis advances the understanding of motion estimation using event cameras. It sets the stage for their application in real-world scenarios such as high-speed object tracking and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The biologically inspired methods developed in this thesis offer promising avenues for balancing the performance and efficiency of computer vision and robotics systems, paving the way for future innovations in this field.

Thesis abstract: Rivers are important carriers of water resources and important components of ecosystems. In some areas, rivers have been artificially narrowed, riparian areas have been encroached upon, riparian resources have been over-exploited, and artificial restrictions have been placed on the river channel. This resulted in the loss of the river's role in receiving and storing flood waters, which leading to the collapse of river banks and the destruction of river embankments, severely affecting the stability of the river, threatening the safety of bridges, culverts and other critical river-related infrastructure, and endangering the ecological environment. The definition of riparian zones is particularly important for the management and protection of rivers. In the implementation of policies to promote river management in various countries, emphasis has been placed on strengthening the management of riparian zones, ensuring the safety of flood control and giving full play to the comprehensive ecological benefits of rivers. In recent years, various countries have proposed laws and regulations in recent years mainly to control overdevelopment, restore natural vegetation growth in riparian areas, protect habitats and achieve flood control. With the progress of water-related social development, the balance between environmental impact and benefits is increasingly emphasized. Changes in river shape, man-made riverbeds, and riverbank construction affect aquatic life and destroy wildlife habitats. River regulation also alters ecosystems. To reduce these impacts, government agencies implement protocols for riparian assessment and monitoring, including physical habitat, hydromorphological, and hydrological regime evaluations.The research first begins with a retrospective analysis as the starting point to acquire how existing laws and regulations on development and restoration lack effective integration and induce weak adaptability. A river-riparian model is developed based on two-dimensional hydraulic modelling integrated with numerical modelling by relying on topographical, hydrological, vegetation, and soil data to analyze the hydro-ecological cycle within the riparian zone and delineate the boundary of riparian. The model aims to provide a site-specific approach to riparian zone delineation. In addition, a system of parameters for ecological status assessment is proposed which focuses on the main contradictions between the environment conservation and the ecosystem services of riparian zones. In order to develop and analyze strategies for a good ecological status of the water bodies and riparian zones, the methodology of riparian zone delineation will provide tools for enhancing the coordination of the needs of riparian resource development and ecosystem protection and use, and the ecological environment assessment system will evaluate the hydromorphological quality and promote the healthy development of the ecological environment. The findings of this research propose a convenient and effective method for delineating riparian zones which can be basically universally applied. It is noteworthy for its applicability in riparian zone management practices and as a reference for policy strategy development. The proposed quantitative evaluation method covers the key aspects of hydromorphological quality evaluation. This eliminates the highly subjective assignment of weights and classification of evaluation levels while also avoiding the inclusion of complex calculation procedures. The river-riparian areas evaluation method allows the decision-makers to easily analyze the problems through the resulting calculations and lay the foundation for further solutions.

Thesis abstract: The dissertation, research on enhancing timing predictability and performance for Critical Real-Time Embedded Systems (CRTES), focusing on Multi-Processor Systems on Chip (MPSoCs). CRTES are essential in critical domains like automotive and avionics, where complex functionalities and high performance are increasingly required for operations such as AI and multi-sensor data processing. However, MPSoCs face significant timing verification and validation (V&V) challenges, especially related to shared resources like caches and interconnects, which can introduce unpredictable delays. This thesis addresses three core areas to improve CRTES predictability: cache coherence, interconnection predictability, and application performance through vector extensions.Cache Coherence: In MPSoCs, cache coherence protocols ensure consistent data across multiple cores, but shared caches introduce contention that affects timing predictability. Traditional approaches to improving coherence often involve modifying protocols, a costly and complex task. This thesis takes an alternative approach by leveraging hardware event monitors (HEMs) to observe cache contention, providing valuable data for timing V&V without altering existing protocols. This methodology is applied to commercial MPSoCs like the NXP T1040 and T2080, which are widely used in real-time domains.On another note, the Remote Protocol-Contention Tracking (RPCT) method is proposed, which enables fine-grained tracking of delays due to inter-core contention, offering insights into cache coherence impacts on software predictability and informing developers on optimization strategies. Additionally, the thesis proposes a novel Multiple HEM Validation (MHV) method to improve the accuracy of contention measurements by validating HEM reliability through inter-HEM relationships, mitigating known issues with single-event HEM inaccuracies.Interconnections: MPSoCs rely on point-to-point (P2P) communication protocols like AXI4 for data transfer between cores, but the standard AXI protocol lacks timing constraints, making it unpredictable under real-time requirements. Addressing this, this thesis introduces AXI4 Real-Time (AXI4RT), an extension to the AXI protocol that specifies timing parameters to control the duration of transactions between manager and subordinate interfaces. By defining timing guarantees directly within the protocol, AXI4RT ensures predictable communication, enhancing system reliability for real-time applications. Additionally, this thesis provides some initial steps for contention tracking on modern AXI5 interconnects by doing an in-depth analysis how can contention be tracked with currently available HEMs and proposing some HEMs that could improve this tracking.Application Performance with Vector Extensions: To meet growing performance demands in CRTES, MPSoCs often use GPUs and custom accelerators, but these present certification challenges due to their complexity and unpredictable timing. This thesis explores using vector extensions (VExt) as an alternative. Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) processing units are already available in many embedded processors, which perform parallel operations on multiple data elements, effectively improving data processing speeds. Unlike GPUs, VExt are integrated within processors and comply with high-integrity system standards, making them easier to certify. The thesis provides an analysis of VExt in COTS processors like NVIDIA’s AGX Xavier and show their potential to enhance performance while maintaining compliance with standards such as MISRA-C.In summary, this thesis advances the state-of-the-art in CRTES predictability, presenting solutions that ensure more reliable timing for complex embedded systems in safety-critical applications. By addressing cache coherence, interconnect timing, and performance, this thesis provides tools and methodologies for better timing analysis, enabling MPSoCs to improve real-time guarantees.

Thesis abstract: The application of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) in bridge structures presents a significant advancement in structural performance, reinforcement optimization, and serviceability enhancement. This study examines the impact of FRC on bridge design, focusing on its ability to reduce reinforcement demands, improve crack control, and enable internal force redistribution. Despite these advantages, challenges related to fiber distribution, orientation, and potential brittle failure necessitate careful consideration in both design and construction.The integration of FRC in U-shaped light-train viaducts, as demonstrated in the Metrorrey Line 2 viaduct, highlights its potential to replace conventional reinforcement partially or entirely in sections with low reinforcement ratios. In particular, FRC enhances shear strength in bottom slabs and webs, leading to a reduction in transverse reinforcement requirements and simplifying reinforcement layouts. While FRC alone sustains ultimate limit state (ULS) loads in sections with low internal forces, in heavily loaded sections, its primary contribution lies in improving serviceability limit state (SLS) performance through better crack control and reduced reinforcement needs. Transversally posttensioned viaducts further amplify the benefits of FRC, as reduced internal force demands facilitate significant reinforcement reductions. However, despite theoretical possibilities for eliminating reinforcement, rebar bands remain necessary to ensure robustness, ease tendon placement, and enhance constructability.Following on the previous findings, the replacement of skin reinforcement in the webs by FRC is assessed in a road bridge. Several numerical models are prepared, from which it can be observed that such reinforcement can be eliminated. However, the elimination of the skin reinforcement produced a failure with a reduced deformation capacity. Depending on the structural case, allowing fibers to undergo strains beyond ultimate crack width can allow to attain redistribution and higher deformation capacities. Nonetheless, the risk of brittle failure in continuous elements with large cross-sections poses a challenge. Addressing these risks requires further research to experimentally validate redistribution mechanisms and establish calibrated design methodologies that account for fiber failure.Two experimental campaigns highlight the variability in fiber distribution and its implications for mechanical performance. Standard construction practices resulted in significant variations in fiber concentration, particularly in self-compacting concrete (SCC), where segregation was more pronounced. In addition, poor fiber alignment in precast elements led to substantial strength reductions, necessitating a revaluation of quasi-isotropic fiber orientation assumptions in design codes. These findings emphasize the importance of controlled casting methods to ensure stable fiber distributions and orientations, ensuring reliable material behavior in bridge applications.Overall, while FRC offers notable advantages in reducing reinforcement requirements, enhancing crack control, and enabling redistribution, its successful implementation in bridge structures depends on rigorous construction methodologies and refined design considerations.

Thesis abstract: The effect of corrosion on reinforcement and its impact on the service life reduction of existing reinforced and prestressed concrete infrastructures has led to the search for alternatives to conventional steel with enhanced durability. In this context, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcements are a promising alternative, as they are not susceptible to corrosion. However, their implementation as active reinforcement in the construction sector is still scarce, due to the limited research conducted and the fact that their use is not included in most current design guidelines, which restrict their application to passive reinforcement.The main objective of this thesis is to study the structural behavior of prestressed concrete elements with active FRP reinforcement, with the aim of contributing to the development of future design recommendations that ensure their functionality, safety, and durability. To this end, an experimental campaign was conducted on 20 simply supported beams with a span of 4.50 m, consisting of 10 flexural tests with a 3-point bending configuration and 18 shear tests (on 9 beams) subjected to a single-point load applied at a distance of three times the effective depth from one of the supports. Additionally, tests were carried out to characterize the mechanical properties of the materials, evaluate the bond performance of the prestressed FRP tendons, and verify the effectiveness of the anchorage systems used for each material.The study considered glass fiber-reinforced polymer bars with thermosetting resin (GFRP), glass fiber-reinforced polymer bars with thermoplastic resin (TP-GFRP), carbon fiber-reinforced polymer bars (CFRP), and carbon fiber composite cables (CFCC), as well as steel strands (control), prestressed at different levels. The exhaustive instrumentation allowed for the recording of the applied load, displacements at multiple points, rotations at the support, strains at different sections in both active and passive reinforcement, and the slip of the active reinforcement with respect to the concrete during the tests. The use of the digital image correlation (DIC) system enabled the capture of crack formation and propagation during each test.The beams tested in a 3-point bending configuration failed when the active longitudinal reinforcement reached its ultimate strength, leading to a decrease in the prestressing force and to the formation of a diagonal crack. In the beams tested in shear, the failure mode was as expected but more brittle compared to that of the prestressed steel beams. In some cases, the shear failure was accompanied by a tensile failure of the reinforcement in the section where the critical shear crack opened, due to the increase in tension produced by the shear force. The analytical formulations were able to predict the ultimate load values and the numerical modelling (using the ABAQUS programme) reproduced the performance of the beams in service but in some cases, they were not able to predict the failure load.

Thesis abstract: Currently, the construction industry faces the challenge of adopting more sustainable practices, with the use of recycled aggregates in structural concrete production emerging as a key strategy. This doctoral research evaluates the viability and efficacy of structural concrete incorporating high volumes of fine and coarse recycled aggregates, specifically recycled concrete aggregates (RCA-type A) and mixed recycled aggregates (MRA-type B). The recycled aggregate concretes were subjected to exposure conditions ranging from XC1 to XC4 classes, extending to more severe environmental conditions such as XS1. The study was conducted in several experimental phases. In the first phase, the physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics of recycled aggregates were evaluated. All concrete mixtures were designed with a compressive strength of 30/37 MPa and a cement, CEM II A/L 42.5R, content of 300 kg/m³. The second phase involved a comprehensive analysis of the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of concrete mixtures with varying proportions of RCA-type A and MRA-type B, using effective water–cement ratios of 0.48 and 0.52. This phase aimed to determine the maximum replacement percentage of recycled aggregates that could be incorporated without compromising the mechanical performance of the concrete. Results confirmed the feasibility of integrating up to 60% coarse RCA (CRCA) and 20% fine RCA (FRCA) in structural concrete mixtures, achieving mechanical properties comparable to natural aggregate concrete (NAC). The analysis was extended to the use of MRA-type B, validating good mechanical performance with up to 40% coarse MRA (CMRA) and 15% fine MRA (FMRA) without compromising structural performance.The third and fourth phases expanded the study, focusing on the effects on concrete durability using the limits established in previous phases. Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and NAC mixtures were produced with similar compressive strengths using effective water–cement ratios of 0.47 and 0.51, respectively. These phases utilized different cement types, such as CEM II A/L 42.5 R, CEM II A/S 42.5 N/SRC, and CEM III/B 42.5 N-LH/SR, to evaluate drying shrinkage, chloride permeability, and accelerated carbonation of the various mixtures and the influence of cement type. After validating those mixtures with up to 50% CRCA and 20% FRCA maintain their structural integrity under conditions susceptible to carbonation and chloride-induced corrosion, in the final phase, with additional studies on natural carbonation and chloride profiles, the concrete produced up to 60% CRCA and 20% FRCA was validated. The findings of this research indicate that concrete mixtures with high percentages of recycled aggregates, RCA and MRA, not only meet current regulatory standards but, in some cases, exhibit enhanced properties compared to those of NAC. These results support their application in structures with extended service life expectations. Furthermore, it is concluded that recycled concrete exhibits properties similar to NAC when working with the same compressive strengths. This doctoral work underscores the sustainability of recycled concrete as a viable alternative, promoting environmentally responsible construction practices without compromising structural integrity in demanding environments.

Thesis abstract: In the nuclear industry, safety-related equipment and components must be designed to withstand earthquakes without losing functionality. The floor response spectrum (FRS) is a widely used method for seismic qualification, serving as a preliminary step for two key procedures: a) dynamic analysis and b) response spectrum-based shake-table testing. The FRS is also crucial in conventional sectors, as evidenced by its incorporation in ASCE 7-2022, the upcoming IBC-2024, and the draft Eurocode EC8. These standards use FRS concepts to define seismic demands for the design of non-structural elements, reinforcing its significance in both nuclear and conventional engineering.The study of non-structural elements' seismic response using the FRS is a decoupled analysis. This means that the primary system (typically a building) undergoes seismic evaluation first, determining floor-level dynamic responses. From these, response spectra at different floors are derived to characterise seismic demands for non-structural elements. The decoupled approach, which neglects both the mass of the non-structural component and its dynamic interaction with the building, is generally considered validâparticularly for lightweight equipment. If a coupled analysis were performed, and the mass of the non-structural element approached zero, the expected response should theoretically align with the decoupled FRS. However, real earthquake data contradict this assumption, as certain low-mass systems exhibit behaviour inconsistent with FRS-derived seismic demands. The primary objective of this thesis is to explain this discrepancy.To achieve this, an extensive review of seismic experiences related to structures, systems, and componentsâparticularly within the nuclear industryâis conducted. The FRS concept is critically analysed alongside conventional seismic code prescriptions for non-structural elements and key methodologies proposed in existing literature. Additionally, the study examines seismic test results, incorporating the author's professional insights from seismic qualification of nuclear equipment and components.Subsequently, a proprietary method is developed to determine the exact seismic response of a zero-mass non-structural element. Since this element is assumed to have no dynamic interaction with the building, its response should theoretically match the FRS. However, the findings reveal otherwise: instead of following the classical FRS, the resulting spectrum is completely flat, showing no frequency-dependent amplifications. It is constant across all frequencies and corresponds solely to the maximum floor acceleration. This challenges the fundamental validity of the FRS for non-structural elements and calls into question its applicability in seismic qualification.As an alternative, a new revised methodology is proposed, aligning with both theoretical findings and experimental results. Specifically, seismic demands for very light non-structural elementsâor those with negligible mass relative to the floor they occupyâshould be estimated using the maximum floor acceleration (which represents the exact response for the theoretical zero-mass case). To ensure conservatism, this value should be multiplied by an amplification factor ranging between 2 and 3, depending on earthquake intensity.Finally, a key recommendation is put forward: non-structural elements should be instrumented in buildings where structural sensors are already installed. By monitoring their seismic response in real earthquakesâincluding maximum acceleration, floor-level acceleration, and ground accelerogramsâa more accurate understanding of their behaviour can be achieved, ultimately improving future seismic qualification methods.

Thesis abstract: High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) offers clear advantages for long distance electrical transmission. This is why its implementation is rising in the interconnection of remote renewable energy and interconnection between islanded Alternating Current (AC) grids, as is the case in Europe. The majority of these systems are currently developed as point-to-point systems. However, Multiterminal High Voltage Direct Current (MT-HVDC) systems will be built shortly. The critical elements in these systems are the Interconnecting Power Converters (IPCs) that enable the transformation between AC and DC. These converters mainly use the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) technology, which can be controlled by leveraging the energy stored inside its cells to achieve its control objectives.The control strategy of these converters is diverse, and different control objectives can be implemented. Two subgroups exist: grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) strategies. The main aim of the first one is to form the grid (AC and/or DC), while the second assumes a stable grid (AC and/or DC) with which to interchange power. The control strategy applied to be grid-forming or grid-following is not unique, and different control architectures are already proposed in the literature. Thus, studying the effect of combining these control architectures on the same system’s stability and performance is crucial.The main objective is to solve the question of how to properly assign and combine these roles in the emerging MT-HVDC grids to ensure stability and proper system response.Firstly, the stability of point-to-point links is studied. This includes a study on the interaction between AC and DC sides when AC-GFM and AC-GFL converters are in the same point-to-point link. It is seen how the different levels of energy buffering capability affect the level of interactions between AC and DC sides. Then, the extension of point-to-point links to MT-HVDC systems is studied. A crucial role in this case is the DC-GFM control. Thus, the stability of HVDC systems is studied when two different DC-GFM control strategies are applied.Secondly, MT-HVDC systems are studied. These systems introduce additional complexities. A key challenge in these systems is the optimal assignment of control roles to IPCs. One of the studies presents a novel methodology to optimize the control role assignment of IPCs by considering both small-signal stability and control performance. This methodology accounts for multiple power flow scenarios and analyzes the steady-state deviations and small-signal stability following selected events. The results of this study highlight the importance of control role assignment in enhancing system stability and performance.From the results extracted from the previously mentioned study, a dynamic control role assignment is proposed to solve the problems previously identified. Traditionally, the control role of IPCs has been static, with little consideration given to dynamically changing the control mode of these converters in real-time operations. However, this study advocates for a dynamic approach to IPC control role assignment, suggesting that allowing transmission system operators to adjust the control roles in response to varying conditions can lead to improved system performance, enhanced stability, and greater operational flexibility.Finally, the research also addresses the advantages of dual-port GFM control in hybrid AC/DC systems. Unlike traditional GFM and GFL controls, which must be carefully assigned to individual IPC terminals, dual-port GFM control imposes a stable voltage on both AC and DC terminals, making it suitable for deployment across all IPCs regardless of network configuration. The findings of this study indicate that dual-port GFM control offers several significant benefits, making it a promising solution for enhancing HVDC systems’ stability and dynamic performance.

Thesis abstract: Due to the exponential growth of electric vehicles and distributed generation in distribution networks, potential congestion in power lines, transformers, and voltage deviations is expected to increase in the coming years. For this reason, the development of modern distribution planning strategies to strengthen grid infrastructure needs to be studied, considering its dynamics and impacts.This thesis proposes a simulation-based optimization model for active distribution network expansion, capturing nonlinear complexities through AC power flows, voltage stability, and operational constraints. The formulation includes an objective function, constraints, and both traditional and flexible planning actions, focusing on determining the optimal battery power and capacity over projected horizons to defer infrastructure investments.Additionally, this thesis reviews and compares smart grid measurement devices based on their technical specifications and potential applications in distribution network operation and planning. A recurrent neural network model is also presented for medium- and long-term load forecasting using historical consumption data from medium-voltage (MV) transformer stations. This forecasting model was later integrated with an investment planning model to compare passive and flexible reinforcement actions in a real case study in Spain.Finally, supervised learning models (Random Forest, XGBoost, LSTM, and SVM) were trained using the proposed optimization model to predict and minimize investment costs, thereby identifying the most effective approach for DSO planning applications. This methodology was tested on a CINELDI network under various electric vehicle charging expansion scenarios and is intended for use in connection request applications.

Thesis abstract: AbstractRock fragmentation in ball mills is a key topic in rock mechanics with broad scientific and engineering significance. However, the understanding of the mechanical mechanisms and ball loading optimization based on dynamic and static principles is still incomplete. The dynamic changes in both rock and ball sizes during milling add complexity, while the process involves multiple breakage mechanisms, including abrasion, compression, and impact. This study examines rock fragmentation characteristics and mechanisms under these three types of forces.(1) The indentation of spherical indenter on rock was studied through laboratory experiments and CODE_BRIGHT numerical simulations, revealing the transition of rock failure from a " jump-type " to a plastic deformation mode under the influence of indenter size. The mechanical mechanisms of rock fragmentation during spherical indentation were analyzed in terms of fracture characteristics and stress fields. (2) The fragmentation characteristics of rock under the impact of spherical indenters of varying sizes were analyzed, and an energy model for indenter impact fragmentation based on fractal theory was established. The mechanical mechanism of spherical indenter-induced fragmentation was explained from a mechanical perspective.(3) The stage-wise variation of the multi-fractal characteristics of ball milling particle size under the influence of rock abrasiveness was analyzed. Based on abrasiveness tests and PFC2D numerical simulations, the wear characteristics and evolution patterns of steel balls in the ball milling process were quantitatively described.Subsequently, a ball charge parameter calculation method was proposed based on the energy consumption laws of spherical indentation impact and compression. Building on this, a ball replenishment strategy based on Markov chain theory was developed and validated through laboratory case studies.

Thesis abstract: This thesis began with the goal of revolutionizing continuous monitoring through the use of sweat. Over the course of this research, the field of sweat monitoring has evolved significantly, being consolidated as the most convenient non-invasive alternative to blood analysis. This thesis compiled the knowledge acquired during these years across different areas related to the design of a microfluidic sweat platform.Initially, a perspiration model was developed as an in vitro experimental setup to enable realistic and cost-effective testing of microfluidic sweat platforms. Sweat gland dimensions and structure were replicated using on-plane soft lithography, solving the fabrication challenges associated. A functional prototype was successfully operated with appropriate skin surface characteristics, demonstrating its use with adhered microfluidic devices. A microfluidic platform integrating custom electrochemical sensors was developed for the measurement of sweat volume, sweat conductivity and sweat lactate. Continuous monitoring has been proven for extended periods of time (exceeding 1 hour) with robustness and reproducibility. This system was incorporated into a complete wearable device featuring remote communication and embedded computation, becoming a novel tool for sports monitoring. The device was validated in on-body trials to assess the accuracy of the output parameters to the final user, for both sweat-based variables (sweat loss, sodium and sodium loss) and blood bioequivalence predictions (lactate).Additionally, a novel microfluidic design for the chrono-sampling of sweat was explored in vitro. It combines a passive valve and pump to renovate the volume in a sensing chamber in a cyclic manner. The mismatch between the absorption rate of the passive pump and the sweat generation at the inlet was found to disconnect the fluid, restoring the passive valve function once surpassed. The system's characteristics can be adjusted to different requirements by modifying the valve widths or passive pump properties. However, the fabrication of this design requires high resolution, which can limit throughput and complicating the current large human testing involved in a microfluidic sweat platform. Therefore, new materials and fabrication techniques at the laboratory were explored to reduce the design to test time and enhance production capacity. In summary, the initial vision of a novel microfluidic sweat wearable platform capable of providing non-invasive, real-time measurements of a variety of biomarkers has been accomplished. Moreover, several promising research lines have emerged, including advancements in perspiration models, microfluidic design, fabrication scalability and algorithm development. Finally, this research has led to the development of a commercially available product, demonstrating that continuous monitoring through sweat is now a market-ready technology.

Thesis abstract: We investigate the physics of quantum-confined excitons in an electrostatically defined PN junction. Such a PN junction can be generated in an encapsulated monolayer \MoSe{} along the patterned edge of a top-gate electrode. Applying a voltage gradient between the top and bottom gates results in the formation of an in-plane electric-field gradient in the depletion region and strong doping gradients in the P- and N-doped regions of the PN junction. The exciton experiences an attractive force within the electric field gradient and repulsion from exciton-charge carrier interactions. The combined effects are sufficiently strong to quantize the number of available excitonic states within the potential. We show measurements of these quantum-confined excitons in reflection contrast and photoluminescence spectroscopy. We demonstrate how the confinement potential results in fine structure splitting with linearly polarized excitonic states that are aligned either along or perpendicular to the top gate edge. The states can be gradually tuned between linear and circular polarization using an out-of-plane magnetic field. Our particular sample geometry, where the formation of the PN junction electrically isolates the sample from ground, allows us to investigate the electrostatic model of a photo-biased PN junction, with the bias voltage as an additional tuning parameter of the confinement potential. The bias voltage is modified by the measurement itself and varies with the location of the measurement. We demonstrate how the combined impact of exciton dissociation and Auger-assisted hot-hole tunneling modifies the bias voltage over a timescale up to $\qty{100}{\s}$. The bias voltage can be further controlled using a second laser, which enables the tuning of the energy of the quantized states over the range of $\qty{15}{\meV}$. Ultimately, these findings allow us to simulate the exact shape of the confinement potential and to investigate how the in-plane electric field modifies the internal exciton structure, impacting the exciton oscillator strength, lifetime, and dissociation. The results of this thesis illustrate the possibilities to pattern tailored exciton potential shapes for photonic and quantum technologies.

Thesis abstract: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) poses significant challenges to remote sensing systems, particularly affecting Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) and microwave radiometry. This thesis advances two interconnected areas of remote sensing: geophysical parameter retrieval using signals of opportunity and RFI impact assessment on Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems. The research develops novel approaches for RFI detection, mitigation, and excision across multiple remote sensing platforms, with particular emphasis on space-qualified systems.The first part of this work advances GNSS-R instrumentation through the development of an experimental testbed and simulator. Laboratory measurements in controlled environments provided critical insights into GNSS-R signal characteristics, enabling systematic validation of signal processing algorithms. The research demonstrates the feasibility of continuous Earth observation through opportunistic platforms, specifically integrating GNSS-R instruments in commercial aviation for applications including weather nowcasting and maritime route optimization. Analysis of polarimetric data revealed significant limitations in current receiver architectures, particularly in processing Left-Hand Circular Polarization (LHCP) signals and reconstructing Stokes parameters. This continued with work conducted at JPL in 2023, analyzing data from the SMAP-R mission which modified its radar payload for GNSS-R reception. The dual capability for forward and backward scattering measurements from the same platform enabled comparative analysis of scattering mechanisms. Leveraging SMAP-R's fully polarimetric reflectometry measurements, we investigated bistatic radar scattering characteristics across varied surface conditions. The analysis focused on two aspects: comparing scattering regime behaviors across different terrains, and developing a prediction model that derives backward-scattering characteristics from forward-scattering measurements. This work extends the theoretical understanding of bistatic scattering mechanisms while providing validation through spaceborne measurements.The second part addresses RFI challenges through three complementary approaches: spectrum monitoring systems, hardware-efficient algorithms, and polarimetric detection methods. A key contribution is the development of an automatic RFI Detection, Location, and Classification (RFIDLC) system for GNSS bands, utilizing a six-sector antenna array design for real-time processing between 1525 and 1625 MHz. For Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications, novel algorithms operating on 1-bit quantized signals enabled RFI mitigation despite severe quantization effects. The FPGA implementation achieved significant resource reduction through innovative overclocking and serialization techniques while maintaining space qualification requirements.A major advancement is the development of the Polarimetric Kurtosis detector for microwave radiometry, extending conventional kurtosis-based detection to the full-polarimetric domain through a four-dimensional measurement derived from Stokes parameters. This technique demonstrates enhanced sensitivity to polarized interference signals, particularly in scenarios where conventional detection methods show limitations. The research validates these approaches through experimental testing on both ground-based and spaceborne platforms, establishing a foundation for future RFI mitigation systems in space-based Earth observation missions.

Thesis abstract: This thesis is divided into two parts. The first one is devoted to dimensionality reduction for large data sets, while the second one focuses on the field of Interpretable Machine Learning. Part of the material presented in this thesis has been published either in journals or workshops. Concretely, the original work of Chapter 1 can be found in Delicado and Pachón-García (2024a). Regarding Chapter 3, the original publication is Pachón-García et al. (2024) and the material of Chapter 4 is Hernández-Pérez et al. (2024). Finally, Chapter 5 is intended to be sent to a journal, but Delicado and Pachón-García (2024b) is a preprint version.To begin with, we present a set of algorithms implementing multidimensional scaling (MDS) for large data sets. MDS is a family of dimensionality reduction techniques using a n×n distance matrix as input, where n is the number of individuals, and producing a low dimensional configuration: a n × r matrix with r << n. When n is large, MDS is unaffordable with classical MDS algorithms because their extremely large memory and time requirements. We compare six non-standard algorithms intended to overcome these difficulties. They are based on the central idea of partitioning the data set into small pieces, where classical MDS methods can work. Two of these algorithms are original proposals. In order to check the performance of the algorithms as well as to compare them, we have done a simulation study. In addition, an open-source R package implementing the algorithms has been created.Regarding the field of machine learning (ML), it is worth noting that its presence in our society is increasing, which brings with it the need to understand the behaviour of ML mechanisms, including machine learning predictive algorithms fed with tabular data, text, or images, among other types of data. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the problem of interpretability. On the one hand, we present SurvLIMEpy, an open-source Python package that implements the SurvLIME algorithm. This method allows to compute local feature importance for machine learning algorithms designed for modelling Survival Analysis data. The presented implementation uses a matrix-wise formulation, which allows to speed up the execution time. Additionally, SurvLIMEpy assists the user with visualisation tools to better understand the result of the algorithm. The package supports a wide variety of survival models, from the Cox Proportional Hazards Model to deep learning models such as DeepHit or DeepSurv. We study the ability of the algorithm to capture the importance of the features by means of a simulation study.With the goal of employing SurvLIMEpy, we train and compare three types of machine learning algorithms for Survival Analysis: Random Survival Forest, DeepSurv and DeepHit, using the SEER database to model cutaneous malignant melanoma. Our work underscores the importance of explainability methods for interpreting black-box models and provides insights into important features related to melanoma prognosis.On the other hand, we consider the field of Functional Data Analysis in order to provide it with interpretability tools. Designing interpretability methods for functional data models implies working with a set of features whose size is infinite. In the context of scalar on function regression, we propose an interpretability method based on the Shapley value for continuous games, a mathematical formulation that allows to fairly distribute a global payoff among a continuous set players. The method is illustrated through a set of experiments with simulated and real data sets. The open source Python package ShapleyFDA is also presented.

Thesis abstract: Climate change is bringing with it situations where droughts coexist with periods of extreme rainfall in many regions of the world. Surface temperatures are increasing due to more frequent drought periods. In urban areas, the rise in surface temperatures also contributes to the heat island effect.In this context, this thesis explores the implementation of water sensitive urban design, which helps to mitigate water scarcity, reduce surface temperatures and cut rainwater runoff in the city of Barcelona.The study deeps delve into a methodology to response the mitigation of compound events effect through WSUD. To achieve this goal, the hydraulic conductivity of the WSUDs’ infiltrating characteristic materials and their thermal behaviour is determined. The methodology is implemented In two different study areas with different building typologies, open spaces and street canyons, with a focus on the most critical parameters. Finally, water consumption reduction, rainwater management and surface temperature were compared for the present time and for the near future, according to the last climate change forecast for the city of Barcelona.

Quality
The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
