Congratulations go to Prof . Cecilia Acquarone Ph . D . Cecilia has been awarded
Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado by UNED . The ceremony took place about a month ago in Madrid and , as Cecilia could not attend , her Thesis Director received the award in her name . This distinction is awarded by merit to students who obtained their PhD degree Suma Cum Laude in the years 2011 and 2012 and who fulfilled some other academic requirements . Cecilia has said “ Being able to share the joy of this piece of news , compensates the long hours of solitary work during the past years .” We are very proud of you , Cecilia !
