Dr. Adrián Cardil received a PhD with honours in Forest Engineering from the University of Lleida in 2015 (PhD Extraordinary Award) where he is associate professor. Dr. Cardil was internationally awarded with the 2022 Early Career Research Award (International Association of Wildland Fire) and for the best Ph.D. thesis on wildfires (Pau Costa Foundation, 2017). The scientific impact of the research can be scored by the 85 articles published in SCI journals as well as the quality and the number of times these articles have been cited. Dr. Cardil is a prominent fire and forest scientist who has developed: (1) methods for assessing fire risk and guiding forest management; (2) innovative fire behavior, danger and risk models and applications to better estimate the impact of wildfires on human fatalities and the environment; (3) analysis of adverse weather patterns and drivers leading to extreme wildfires in several continents and regions. Dr. Cardil has translated science to operational tools and services to the industry to facilitate decision-making in fire emergencies through robust fire modeling applications applied in a large set of world-class fire agencies.
