Nadia Loy

Nadia Loy is a fixed-term Researcher in the Department of Mathematical Sciences (DISMA) at the Polytechnic University of Turin, specializing in kinetic theory, mathematical biology, and statistical mechanics. She contributes to the 'Models and Methods in Mathematical Physics' research group and leads project components in nationally funded initiatives like ANATOMY (2023-2026) for modeling muscular dystrophies.

• Current PhD supervisor for Martina Fraia (Scienze Matematiche, 39th cycle)
• Teaches Theoretical mechanics (Civil and Environmental Engineering) and Algebra lineare e geometria (Management Engineering)
• Active in interdisciplinary research bridging mathematics with biomedical and social applications

Her research focuses on nonlocal kinetic equations for complex systems, including fake news propagation, cancer cell migration, and agent behavior modeling. Recent publications in Kinetic and Related Models and Nonlinearity demonstrate her work in continuum mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and social diffusion processes.

Scientific contributions include:

• 2025 - Open badge for research communication to citizens
• 2024 - Collaborative publications on cell mechanics, nonlocal PDEs, and multi-agent kinetic models

She actively collaborates on teaching modules across engineering disciplines, from aerospace to architecture, and participates in outreach activities related to mathematical physics applications.
