28 Nov 2018: Dissertation submitted
Today it was the day that every PhD student waits for: thesis submission day. I finally managed to make all the corrections suggested by my supervisors and after printing it, I went to the Research Degrees Office to leave my copies. Now I feel like something is missing but life goes on. I am already […]

Are citation networks really acyclic?

KMi Lab Photo 2018
After our last town meeting (with all the members of the KMi), we took a lab picture. It was since two years that we didn’t take one. In this picture, we wanted to show the KMi’s inclusiveness and diversity. Therefore, everyone of us was handing a flag associated to our nationality and/or birthplace. We can […]
