| 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. Declined by Johannes Maximilian 5 months ago. | |

Comment: This individual does not appear to meet either WP:GNG or WP:NPROF, as they are only an associate professor and the Von Neumann Fellowship does not appear to be prestigious enough to meet NPROF #3. The only significant secondary coverage given in the article is a single article in Cosmopolitan, not enough to meet GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:50, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Mikaela Iacobelli 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
editIacobelli 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,[1] a field that intersects probability theory, statistical mechanics, and mathematical physics.
Academic Career
editAfter 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.[2]
Research Achievements
editIacobelli'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- In 2015, for her PhD work, she received the Award L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science (French edition)[3]
- In 2021, she has been an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematical Physics[4]
- During the academic year 2024-25, she has been a Von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton[citation needed]
- In 2024, she received a SNSF Starting Grant (2025–2030), the Swiss equivalent of the ERC[5]
Academic Service and Advocacy
editIacobelli is active in the academic community and committed to supporting women in science. She currently serves as the Chair of the European Mathematical Society (EMS) Committee for Women in Mathematics.[6] Her role focuses on promoting gender equality in mathematics and supporting initiatives that encourage women to pursue careers in mathematical sciences.
