Biography

Anna Lisa Varri is a Reader in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, focusing on the dynamics of stellar systems from an applied mathematics perspective. She is particularly interested in the classical gravitational N-body problem, Vlasov-Poisson equilibria, asymptotic methods, elliptic partial differential equations, and kinetic theory with applications to self-gravitating systems and plasmas. Varri has developed a growing interest in Bayesian statistics for the analysis of astrophysical data. Her research also encompasses the formation and evolution of low-mass stellar systems and their implications for galaxy formation and cosmology. She is engaged in solving fundamental questions in astrophysics, such as the early universe's stellar aggregates and the role of dark matter. Varri received her PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Università degli Studi di Milano in 2012 and has held postdoctoral positions and fellowships in leading institutions. She has been recognized with multiple awards for her contributions to the field, including the William Herschel Prize from the Royal Astronomical Society.
