Short Vitae

Full Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at UC3M, I am Director of the Doctoral Program in Aerospace Engineering (https://uc3m-phd-aerospace.es/) and member of the research group in Aerospace Engineering (https: //aero.uc3m.es/), from where I lead the UC3M Aeronautical Operations Laboratory (https://aircraftoperationslab.com/). I have been visiting scholar at ETH Zürich and the U.C. Berkeley, and visiting Professor at MIT. My research interests focus on optimal control, stochastic processes, meteorology, and climate change, with applications in the aviation sector. Over the past five year, I have deeply involved into investigating contrails and its associated climete impact. Since I joined UC3M, I am or have been PI of 17 competitive projects (10 European, 4 of them as coordinator) and I have directed or am directing 17 doctoral theses. I have published >60 JCR articles, 3 book chapters and >60 articles in conference proceedings (up to date record at http://www.aerospaceengineering.es/publications/), many of these publications in international collaboration. I have a marked vocation for communication and transfer of results, highlighting: the publication of several Open-Source libraries; the dissemination activities at Researchers’ Night, Science Week, schools; the dissemination of the results of the ALARM, START, E-CONTRAIL SESAR projects, which I have coordinated, and which include videos, radio interviews, policy briefs, comic strips, and press releases translated into several languages; and, finally, the creation of Spin-Off AI-Methods (https://www.ai-methods.com/).
