Verónica Álvarez Castro, Postdoctoral Fellow at BCAM and at Massachusetts Institute, has received a Special Mention at the Enrique Fuentes Quintana Doctoral Thesis Awards, granted by Funcas, for her doctoral thesis entitled Supervised Learning in Time-dependent Environments with Performance Guarantees.

The thesis, developed in the field of machine learning and dynamic environments, was supervised by Dr. Santiago Mazuelas and Dr. José Antonio Lozano. The work stands out for providing performance guarantees in changing scenarios, representing a highly relevant contribution from both a theoretical and applied perspective.

The Enrique Fuentes Quintana Awards, established in 2006, aim to recognize excellence in economic and social research through its most prestigious academic format: the doctoral thesis. Named after the renowned professor Enrique Fuentes Quintana, these awards seek to reward the effort, commitment and rigorous work required to complete a doctoral dissertation.

The awarded theses cover a wide range of fields, including Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Architecture—the category in which this recognition falls—as well as Economics, Political Science, Health and Life Sciences, and Humanities.

This recognition represents a significant endorsement of the scientific quality of Verónica Álvarez Castro’s research and reinforces BCAM’s commitment to excellence in research and the development of scientific talent in key areas such as mathematics and artificial intelligence.
