Doctoral theses
This section contains the completed doctoral theses deposited in the official Riunet repository since 2008, as well as those in the process of elaboration of the new doctoral program.
The new inter-university doctoral program between the Polytechnic Universities of Valencia and Madrid started in 2015. Since then, around 50 doctoral theses have been completed or are in progress.
The lists show the initial topics of the doctoral theses of the last few years.
