Annachiara Colombi

Annachiara Colombi is a fixed-term researcher at the Department of Mathematical Sciences "GL Lagrange" (DISMA), Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Her work lies at the intersection of mathematical physics, biophysics, and environmental modeling. She is affiliated with multiple academic colleges, including the College of Mathematical Engineering (Member), College of Architecture and Design (Member), and College of Environmental and Land Engineering (Invited member), reflecting her interdisciplinary contributions.

Her research focuses on developing and analyzing mathematical models to understand complex biological and environmental systems. Key interests include cell migration under mechanical stimuli, non-local modeling in biological contexts, global sensitivity analysis for model validation, and applications in cancer-on-chip experiments and agricultural system modeling. She employs tools from mathematical physics and computational modeling to address problems in biophysics and sustainability.

The recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in applying advanced mathematical techniques—particularly non-local integro-differential equations and stochastic particle models—to real-world biological systems. Her work spans from cellular-level phenomena (e.g., cell reorientation, collective migration) to macro-scale environmental models (e.g., cropping systems), unified by the use of sensitivity analysis and rigorous mathematical frameworks.

She has made significant contributions through peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters in prestigious publications, often in collaboration with leading researchers such as Luigi Preziosi and Marco Scianna.
