About the author Manuel Soler received a Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering (5-Year B.Sc, 07), a Master’s degree in Aerospace Science and Technology (M.Sc, 11), both from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and a Doctorate Degree in Aerospace Engineering (Ph. D, 13) from the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid. He developed his early professional career in companies of the aeronautical sector. In 2008, he joined the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, where he was a lecturer in the area of aerospace engineering. Since January 2014, Manuel Soler is Assistant Professor at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in air navigation, ﬂight mechanics and control, and air transport. He has been a visiting scholar at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and UC Berkeley, USA. His research interests focus on optimal control, stochastic hybrid systems, and trajectory optimisation with application to ﬂight planning and space mission planning and conﬂict detection and resolution problems. Dr. Soler has participated in several research projects, e.g., Clear-SKY POTRA, SESEAR WP-E HALA! project, OPTMet Project; SESAR’s TBO-Met, and contract with diﬀerent aerospace companies, e. g., Boeing, CRIDA-En Aire. He has published his work in international journal and conference proceedings, including two books.
