Óscar J. Pellicer Valero successfully gets his Doctoral Degree

November 16, 2022 / jovifran

Our dear colleague Oscar J. Pellicer-Valero got his PhD last November 14th, after an outstanding viva of his PhD research entitled “Contributions of biomechanical modeling and machine learning to the automatic registration of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance and Transrectal Echography for prostate brachytherapy”. Oscar started his PhD in late 2018, and since then, has been working very hard on it, with the result of a remarkable thesis that has attracted interest both from the academic and clinical fields. The PhD thesis was presented as a compendium of five relevant publications corresponding with different parts of his research. Special thanks to Dr. Victor González-Pérez (Valencian Institute of Oncology, IVO) and Dr. Sandra Ortega-Martorell (Liverpool John Moores University, United Kingdom) who were the external examiners that were part of the panel, alongside IDAL member Dr. Yolanda Vives-Gilabert.

We wish Oscar the best of lucks in his post-doctoral career; IDAL will always be his home.
