Rafael Fernandes Cunha

Rafael Cunha is Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence and PhD candidate at the University of Groningen, specializing in reinforcement learning for multi-agent systems.

Research investigates transfer learning techniques for RL agents, cooperative control strategies in transportation systems, and imitation dynamics in population games. Applications include optimizing vehicle platooning efficiency and multi-agent decision frameworks.

Recent publications develop intrinsically motivated agents (2025) and RL-based platooning controllers (2023). Teaching includes Distributed Systems fundamentals and AI methods.
