Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit: Climate-Optimized Flight Planning & SAF
Last January 28-30, 2025 two of our researchers recently participated in the Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit in Toulouse, France. This prestigious conference brought together experts from around the world to discuss how the aviation industry can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through innovative aircraft design and operational improvements. Abolfazl Simorgh and Oumarou M. Bola contributed to thisContinue reading “Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit: Climate-Optimized Flight Planning & SAF”
Climate-optimized flight planning can effectively reduce the environmental footprint of aviation in Europe at low operational costs
We are excited to announce our latest research findings on climate-friendly flight planning, now available as a pre-print on Nature Portfolio journal communications earth & environment. This study, authored by Abolfazl Simorgh and Manuel Soler from the Aircraft Operations Lab, and in the framework of the RefMap project, reveals that implementing climate-optimal flight paths—those thatContinue reading “Climate-optimized flight planning can effectively reduce the environmental footprint of aviation in Europe at low operational costs”
Enhancing GOES-16 Contrail Segmentation through Ensemble Neural Network Modeling and Optical Flow Corrections
Irene Ortiz leads groundbreaking research introducing the Contrail Detection and Segmentation Ensemble Model (CDSEM), an AI system that identifies aviation-induced contrails with 93% accuracy. This innovation offers valuable tools for understanding aviation’s environmental impact and addressing its role in global warming. The preprint is now available on TechRxiv: Irene Ortiz, Javier García-Heras, Amin Jafarimoghaddam, etContinue reading “Enhancing GOES-16 Contrail Segmentation through Ensemble Neural Network Modeling and Optical Flow Corrections”
Predoctoral Research Funding Opportunities: PIPF2024 and FPU 24-27
Aspiring doctoral researchers have two excellent opportunities to secure funding for their academic journey: the PIPF2024 Grants and the FPU 2024 Doctoral Scholarships. The PIPF2024 Grants, offered by the Community of Madrid, provide comprehensive financial support for predoctoral contracts at Madrid universities. These grants cover salaries, overseas research stays, and related costs for up toContinue reading “Predoctoral Research Funding Opportunities: PIPF2024 and FPU 24-27”
