Abstract

In this paper I present a brief summary of recent advances in the fields of stellar evolution, stellar model atmospheres, and stellar spectral libraries, which allow us to build more realistic stellar population synthesis models than those available up to now. Applications of these models to problems of current interest are discussed. Problems that need to be understood and data sets that need to be collected in order to solve issues present in these models are listed.
