Prof. Alejandro DiBernardi s a globally recognized aviation expert with extensive experience across more than 200 aerodromes, airports, heliports, and vertiports spanning Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia. He has led and co-directed numerous research and technical assistance projects for both industry and governmental bodies.

In Argentina, he directed over 40 airport master plans and contributed to the Federal Strategic Transport Plan, while also playing a key role in the development of Peru’s National Civil Aviation Strategy. His expertise covers a broad spectrum of aviation domains, including airport certification, operational safety assessments, accident and incident analysis, sustainable air transport, and regulatory development.

Di Bernardi is actively engaged in academia and capacity building, serving as a representative and guest professor for the Master in Aeronautical Systems Management at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. He is also a recurrent instructor in ICAO/Aena/AECID programs across the Americas and an expert within ICAO’s Technical Cooperation and Capacity Development frameworks.

A co-founder of the International Group on Aviation and Multimodal Transport Research (IGAMT), he contributes to advancing research at the intersection of aviation and multimodal transport. He is also an active member of academic boards, international journals, and scientific committees, and has delivered lectures and training sessions in over 60 institutions worldwide.

Prof. Dr. Miquel Àngel Piera is Full Professor at the Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and an internationally recognized expert in simulation, optimization, decision support systems, and complex systems modeling.

For more than three decades, his research has focused on the development and application of advanced analytical methods to support decision-making in complex operational environments. His work spans transportation, logistics, manufacturing, supply chains, and industrial systems, combining rigorous scientific methodologies with practical real-world applications.

Beyond his academic achievements, Professor Piera has been actively involved in innovation and technology transfer, fostering strong collaborations between academia and industry and contributing to the creation of technology-based initiatives aimed at bringing advanced simulation and optimization methods into operational practice.

He has authored an extensive body of scientific work, including journal publications, conference papers, book chapters, and academic books, while also supervising numerous doctoral researchers and participating in a wide range of European and international research projects.

What distinguishes Professor Piera is his long-standing commitment to bridging the gap between academic research and industrial implementation, transforming advanced simulation and decision-support methodologies into practical solutions that address real-world challenges in transportation, logistics, and complex operational systems.

At Multilog 2026, Prof. Piera will share insights from his extensive experience in simulation-based decision support and discuss how advanced analytical methods can help organizations navigate increasingly complex and interconnected systems.

Prof. Jorge Luis García Alcaraz is a full-time researcher in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez (México).
