Short Bio

I am Aeronautical engineer from the National School for Civil Aviation (École Nationale de l'Aviation Civile, ENAC) located in Toulouse (France). I also hold a degree in Computer Science Engineering from the Barcelona School of Informatics (Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona, FIB) which belongs to the Technical  University of Catalonia (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, UPC).  I obtained my PhD in Aerospace Science and Technology from the UPC in 2013. The PhD was advised by Dr. Xavier Prats, and focus on the use of speed variations during the cruise to deal with ATFM delays. A copy of the PhD dissertation is available here.

I have been working at the UPC since 2007 and currently, I am an assistant professor at the School of Telecommunications and Aerospace Engineering of Castelldefels (Escola d'Enginyeria de Telecommunicació i Aeroespacial de Castelldefels, EETAC).

I hold a French and an American private pilot license (PPL) and I have flown in France, Spain (1 and 2) and the US.
