I am glad to announce that Elisavet Tsiranidou has successfully
defended her PhD thesis, entitled Geospatial Data Processing
for 3D Modelling of Urban Space: Towards Functional Characterization
of Urban Environments at the Street Scale, which I co-supervised.
The picture shows Elsa shortly after her PhD viva, standing

together with the members of the examination committee:
Mercedes Solla (Universidade de Vigo),
Pierpaolo D’Agostino (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II),
and Elena Arce (Universidade da Coruña), who participated online.

Special thanks to Valen Gómez, from the University of Cantabria,
for kindly taking the photo.
