Manuel Fernando Soler Arnedo

Manuel Fernando Soler Arnedo is a Full Professor in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Carlos III University of Madrid's College of Engineering. His research focuses on Aerospace Engineering with specialization in Optimal Control Theory, Climate Impact Mitigation, and Artificial Intelligence applications for air traffic systems. He leads the Aerospace Engineering Research Group and has contributed extensively to Flight Trajectory Optimization, Weather-Induced Uncertainty, and Network-scale Conflict Resolution.

• Principal Researcher on EU-funded projects like F4EClim (2024-2027) and KAIROS (2023-2026)
• Key international collaborations with NEXTOR (UC Berkeley) and ETH Zurich
• Developed tools like CLIMaCCF V1.0 and ROOST V1.0 for climate-aware flight planning

His work integrates Artificial Intelligence with Climate Modeling to address 4D Trajectory Planning, Thunderstorm Avoidance, and Non-CO2 Emission Reduction in aviation. Recent publications emphasize Robust Optimization under meteorological uncertainty and Deep Learning for traffic flow management. He has supervised theses on Data Science for Weather Mitigation and Multi-objective Space Mission Design, with grants from European Commission, Boeing, and Spanish government agencies.
