Draft:Mikaela Iacobelli
| Submission declined on 8 September 2024 by Johannes Maximilian (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Mikaela Iacobelli (born 1987[1] in Giulianova[2]) is an Italian mathematician specializing in kinetic theory and partial differential equations. She is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics, ETH Zurich.
Early Life and Education
[edit]Iacobelli earned a joint Ph.D. from the Sapienza University of Rome and the École Polytechnique, where she studied under the supervision of Professors Emanuele Caglioti and François Golse. Her doctoral research focused on the Dynamics of large particle systems[3], a field that intersects probability theory, statistical mechanics, and mathematical physics.
Academic Career
[edit]After completing her Ph.D. in 2015, Iacobelli held a postdoctoral position at the University of Cambridge under the mentorship of Professor Clément Mouhot. In 2017, she joined Durham University as a Tenured Assistant Professor. She then moved in 2019 to ETH Zurich, initially as a Titular Professor, and later became an Associate Professor in 2023.
Research Achievements
[edit]Iacobelli's research addresses fundamental problems in the mathematical analysis of kinetic equations, particularly those arising in plasma physics and related fields. Her work spans several areas of mathematics:
- Quantization of Measures: together with Emanuele Caglioti and François Golse, Iacobelli introduced a novel dynamical approach to the quantization problem using gradient flows, which led to the exploration of weighted ultrafast diffusion equations.
- Wasserstein Distances in Kinetic Theory: She developed a new framework using anisotropic Wasserstein distances to analyze stability in non-collisional kinetic theory. This approach has proven instrumental in studying the Vlasov-Poisson equation and the quasi-neutral limit in plasma models.
- Vlasov-Poisson System for Ions: Her contributions to understanding the Vlasov-Poisson equation include studies on well-posedness, stability, and the quasineutral limit, which are relevant for comprehending plasma behavior in various settings.
Awards and Honors
[edit]- L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award, French edition (2015)[4]
- Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematical Physics (2021)[5]
- Von Neumann Fellowship, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton (2024-2025)[6]
Academic Service and Advocacy
[edit]Iacobelli is very active in the academic community[7] and committed to supporting women in science. She currently serves as the Chair of the European Mathematical Society (EMS) Committee for Women in Mathematics. Her role focuses on promoting gender equality in mathematics and supporting initiatives that encourage women to pursue careers in mathematical sciences.
