Daria Ghilli

Associate Professor at the University of Pavia's Department of Economics and Management, specializing in optimal control, partial differential equations, and mean field games with applications to economics and finance. Holds an Italian qualification (ASN) for associate professorship and a French qualification (maître de conférences). Research focuses on dynamic optimization, stochastic systems, and economic modeling of human capital, environmental quality, and pandemic impacts. Active in teaching mathematics for economics and optimization at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Education: PhD in Mathematics from University of Padua (2015), postdocs at University of Graz (Austria) and University of Padua. Extensive visiting collaborations in France, Chile, and Brazil.

Research Highlights: Pioneering work on mean field games modeling spatial interactions in human capital dynamics and environmental quality regulation. Contributions to sparse optimization, inverse problems in fracture mechanics, and large deviations in stochastic volatility models.

Recent Publications Trends: Focus on infinite-dimensional mean field games (e.g., Hilbert spaces), pandemic economics, and environmental policy modeling. Over 15 peer-reviewed articles spanning optimal control, PDEs, and economic applications.

Grants & Leadership: Coordinator of Italian GNAMPA projects on MFGs and environmental models. Organized conferences including AMASES 2022 and special sessions at international optimal control conferences. Referee for top journals like SIAM J. Control Optim. and J. Mathematical Economics.

Teaching: Courses include 'Mathematics for Management,' 'General Mathematics,' and PhD-level 'Static and Dynamic Optimization.' Oversees tutoring programs and international collaborations via ERASMUS+.
