Michela Sabbatino

In 2020, I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from the University of Parma, where I worked on bifurcations in epidemiological models with vaccination. In 2022, I completed my Master’s Degree at the University of Parma, with a thesis on kinetic and macroscopic models for autoimmune diseases. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Mathematics at the University of Trento, working on mathematical models of vector-borne diseases, with a focus on the spatial spread of West Nile Virus using epidemiological data.

Research Interests

My research interests focus on mathematical epidemiology, in particular the development and analysis of mathematical models for vector-borne diseases. Currently, I work on spatial epidemic models, reaction–diffusion systems, and the role of environmental and seasonal factors in disease spread. My research combines analytical techniques, whenever possible, with numerical simulations to study the dynamics and spatial propagation of infections, with a particular focus on West Nile Virus.
