Gabriella Puppo is professor of numerical analysis at Sapienza, Università di Roma. Previously, she has had positions at Università dell”Insubria and Politecnico di Torino. She obtained a Ph D in Applied Mathematics at the Courant Institute of NYU. Her research interests range from scientific computing for hyperbolic and kinetic equations, to modelling of physical and social phenomena using kinetic theory and hyperbolic PDE”s. Andrea Tosin is full professor of Mathematical Physics at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. His main research interests consist in revisiting the classical methods and concepts of kinetic theory, such as Boltzmann-type collisional equations and Fokker-Planck asymptotics, to investigate emerging problems in the realm of interacting multi-agent systems. Applications include vehicular traffic, crowd dynamics and social systems.
