Our PhD student, Ing. Sofiia Serhiienko, participated in the EECI Summer School M16, held at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom.

During the course Optimization and Control of Complex Multi-Agent Systems, she explored modern approaches to optimization and control of complex multi-agent systems. The program focused on distributed optimization, coordination of networked systems, and decision-making under uncertainty.

The course was taught by leading researchers Kostas Margellos (University of Oxford), Alessandro Falsone, and Maria Prandini (Politecnico di Milano).

Summer schools are about much more than lectures. They provide an opportunity to meet people tackling similar research challenges, exchange ideas, build new friendships, and gain fresh inspiration to pursue research with even greater enthusiasm.

On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, doctoral examinations took place at the Institute of Information Engineering, Automation, and Mathematics, successfully completed by Ing. Sofiia Serhiienko, MSc., Ananya Lohani, and Ing. Gyula Kurucz.

All three are PhD students in the new English-language study program Smart Process Control, which provides greater flexibility in scientific research and supports the development of interdisciplinary research.

We sincerely congratulate them on successfully passing the doctoral examination and wish them many more successes in the future.

Our PhD student, Ananya Lohani, participated in the EECI Summer School M14, a week-long international summer school held at KU Leuven, Belgium.

During the course Deep Learning for System Identification, she explored modern approaches to system identification based on deep learning methods. The course was taught by Dario Piga and Marco Forgione from the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Lugano, Switzerland.

Participating in international summer schools provides PhD students with an excellent opportunity to broaden their expertise, discuss emerging research topics, and build connections with researchers from around the world.
