Fernando Real Rojas, awarded for his research excellence

Writing/Raúl García Hémonnet

This URJC graduate has received the CIT Young Researchers Award, granted within the framework of the 2025th Transportation Engineering Congress (CIT XNUMX). This recognition aims to stimulate research among young researchers in this field. The jury recognized his work entitled "A Sparse and Entropy-Driven Approach to Rapid Transit Network Design," in which he proposes an innovative approach based on optimization techniques for the efficient design of transportation networks.

Likewise, Fernando Real was awarded the IEEE AESS Spain 2024 Prize for the best Final Degree Project for his project "Transportation Network Design: Integrating Modal Competition with Convex Optimization Techniques." This work explores new methodologies for integrating different transportation modes into planning processes, employing advanced mathematical optimization tools.

These awards are added to an initial academic phase, in which their work points to original approaches and promising applications for improving urban mobility and the sustainability of transportation systems.
