Andrea Tosin

Andrea Tosin is a Full Professor of Mathematical Physics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences "G. L. Lagrange" (DISMA), Politecnico di Torino. He serves as Coordinator of the Doctoral College of Mathematical Sciences and Deputy Coordinator of the Doctoral College of Pure and Applied Mathematics. His research bridges kinetic theory, transport equations, and applied mathematics with applications in multi-agent systems, traffic, social dynamics, and epidemiology.

His research interests focus on:

• Kinetic theory and its applications to real-world systems
• Transport and diffusion equations in complex environments
• Modeling of vehicular traffic, crowd dynamics, and social behavior
• Epidemiological modeling with a focus on viral load and multi-scale dynamics
• Mathematical modeling of collective behavior in biological and social systems

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent trend in developing and analyzing kinetic models for traffic flow, opinion dynamics, and epidemic spread, often incorporating uncertainty, network structures, and multi-population interactions. These works frequently involve rigorous mathematical derivations from microscopic models to macroscopic equations, with applications in safety, public health, and urban planning.

His scientific awards include:

• SIMAI Biennial Award (2013)
• INDAM-SIMAI Award (2010)

He actively supervises PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, including Martina Fraia, Emanuele Bernardi, Elisa Paparelli, and Mattia Sensi. He has secured significant research grants from national (PRIN, INdAM) and institutional (Politecnico di Torino, Google) sources. His research is supported by projects such as IMASED (Integrated Mathematical Approaches to Socio-Epidemiological Dynamics) and ANATOMY (A Unitary Mathematical Framework for Modelling Muscular Dystrophies). He also leads the "Modelli e Metodi della Fisica Matematica" research group at DISMA.
