Barbara Trivellato

Barbara Trivellato is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences (DISMA) at the Polytechnic University of Turin. She serves as a member of the College of Mathematical Engineering, College of Electronic, Telecommunications and Physics Engineering, and as an invited member of the College of Computer, Film, and Mechatronics Engineering.

Her research focuses on Exponential models, Stochastic differential equations, and Stochastic utility maximization. As part of the "Probability and Applications" research group, her work spans optimization problems in finance and mathematical statistics. Her expertise aligns with ERC sectors including application of mathematics in sciences, control theory, optimization, mathematical statistics, and probability.

Dr. Trivellato's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on financial mathematics and probability theory. Her work examines mean-variance optimization in insurance contexts, utility maximization using stochastic differential equations, properties of exponential statistical models, and applications to demographic modeling across journals in financial mathematics, applied mathematics, theoretical probability, and physics.

• Scientific Director for PRIN project "Stochastic methods for expected utility maximization" (2004-2006)
• Current PhD supervisor for Giulio Cuniberti (Mathematical Sciences, 39th cycle)

She teaches Stochastic Processes for Mathematical Engineering and Mathematical Methods for Engineering across multiple engineering disciplines including Physics, Aerospace, Computer, Film and Media, and Management Engineering for academic years through 2025/26.
