Manuel Soler is an associate professor at the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), where he is director of the Doctoral Program in Aerospace Engineering and a member of the Aerospace Engineering research group, from where he directs the Laboratory of Aeronautical Operations of the UC3M. He has carried out research stays at ETH Zürich and the U.C. Berkeley and has been a visiting professor at MIT. He is currently developing two lines of research: 1) the application of artificial intelligence techniques to problems related to aeronautical meteorology, air traffic management and climate change; 2) optimization of aircraft trajectories and climate change. He has published over 90 articles in Web of Science journals and conferences, many of these publications in international collaboration. He is/has been coordinator of the SESAR HORIZON E-CONTRAIL and SESAR H2020 ALARM and START projects, and also participates as PI in several European projects H2020, HORIZON EUROPE, national and regional projects, many of them related to climate change. He has been awarded the SESAR prize for young scientists in 2013 and the Luis Azcárraga prize from ENAire in 2016 and 2019, the SESAR JU Awards 2021 – Sustainability Award, as well as the 2023 Digital Sky Award – ISOBAR, Best Exploratory Research project. As a scientist, he has a marked vocation for communication and transfer of results, highlighting: the ClimaCCF open library (related to aviation and climate change), developed within the framework of the FlyATM4E and ALARM SESAR projects; the dissemination activities of the Researchers' Night and/or Science Week; the dissemination of the results of the ALARM, START and E-CONTRAIL projects, which he has coordinated, and which include videos, radio interviews and press releases translated into several languages; and, finally, the creation of the Start Up AI-METHODs, in the process of being formalized as a UC3M Spin-Off. In his free time he likes to play sports and write. In addition to some fictional stories that have appeared in various media, in 2022 he published the children's illustrated album “La que Luce” (www.laqueluce.com) and is currently working on a second children's illustrated album with the provisional title “La astropatrulla basurilla”.
