Rafael Cunha is a University Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Groningen with nine years of experience bridging academic research and practical engineering. He supervises master and bachelor thesis projects in reinforcement learning and stochastic processes while teaching and supporting courses on complex network modeling. With a background in electrical and electronics engineering (MSc, UNICAMP; BSc, ITA) and earlier industry experience managing on-shore oil fields and reservoir simulations at Petrobras, he brings a rare combination of control theory, probabilistic modeling, and production-oriented thinking to AI education. His PhD work and MSc thesis on robust control and Markov jump linear systems inform his research-led approach to teaching reinforcement learning under uncertainty. Based in the Greater Groningen area, Rafael mixes rigorous theoretical foundations with hands-on student mentorship and applied problem solving across disciplines.
