Presentation of Sergio Bernabe´s Ph.D. in the University of Iceland (the second day)

… The next day on Monday, May 18th, 2014, Antonio Plaza and I (University of Extremadura – Spain) were visiting the campus and the department, which is very close to our hotel (Radisson Blu, Saga Hotel) from Jón Atli Benediktsson. He is currently Pro Rector for Academic Affairs and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Iceland. After lunch we take a coffee in the Main Building (Rectoral Building) of the University of Iceland (Háskóli Íslands) with the rest of the components of the Lab in the Department:

Thanks to an an Agreement between the University of Extremadura and the University of Iceland (háskóli Islands), Sergio was able to present his Ph.D. in Spain and also in Iceland in order to obtain a double degree. For this reason, Sergio officially presented his Ph.D. for the second time, on this occasion in Reykjavik (Iceland).
