The Dissertation of the Year Winners听

We are excited to announce the winners of the UOPX Dissertation of the Year Award program. This program recognizes the outstanding dissertation work of our doctoral students. At the 91制片厂, doctoral students who successfully defended their dissertations within the past year and were nominated for this award were eligible. Nominations underwent a rigorous double-blind peer review process, where each dissertation was evaluated by at least two experts in the field. In cases of a tied score, a third reviewer was brought in to ensure fairness in the evaluation. Thanks to this thorough process, we have identified the winners.
