We are happy to announce that Giacomo Verardo successfully defended his licentiate thesis (licentiate is a degree at KTH half-way to a PhD)! As usual, Marco Chiesa has done an excellent job as a co-advisor, and we are truly grateful to Prof. Gerald Q. Maguire Jr. for his stellar insights. Dr. Maxime Sermesant was a superb opponent at the licentiate seminar, with Prof. Vlad Vlassov as the examiner. Giacomo ’s thesis is available online:
“Optimizing Neural Network Models for Healthcare and Federated Learning”
