Eduard Andrei Duta Costache started his PhD at the Physics Department of the University of Gothenburg on the 19th of January 2026.
Eduard has a double Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Alicante (Spain) and in Machine Learning & Data Mining from Jean Monnet University (France).
During the course of his PhD, as part of the GREENS MSCA Doctoral Network, he will focus on developing AI frameworks to model and optimize the lifecycle of micro-robotic platforms.
Both Andrea Schiano di Colella and Eduard Andrei Duta Costache, the two doctoral candidates based at the University of Gothenburg, participated to the event along with the other doctoral candidates of the network.
The training event consisted of a series of lectures on different topics such as small scale robots and their actuation mechanisms, theoretical aspects of the simulation of the dynamics of bodies immersed in fluids at low Reynolds numbers, working principles and applications of swarm robotics, and finally artificial intelligence and its applications to data analysis in experiments.
The event included a visit to the Swedish Algae Factory (SAFAB) and Smogenlax on the topic of circular economy, and concluded with a series of meetings between the representatives of the participating institutions, from both accademia and industry, to exchange research questions and plan secondments.
