Warum sich Forschung an der Uni Graz für eine Mathematikerin aus Vietnam rechnet

Mehr als 9000 Kilometer liegen ihre Heimat und die Universität Graz voneinander entfernt. Mehr als zwölf Flugstunden. Alles keine großen Zahlen, obwohl diese für Tram Thi Ngoc Nguyen grundsätzlich eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Die gebürtige Vietnamesin ist Mathematikerin. Seit 2020 forscht sie am Institut für Mathematik und wissenschaftliches Rechnen der Uni Graz.

„Das Institut ist extrem forschungsstark. Junge MathematikerInnen, die wie ich im Bereich der Optimierung arbeiten, wissen Bescheid, dass hier renommierte ForscherInnen tätig sind“, schildert Tram Thi Ngoc Nguyen. Das war auch ihre Motivation, sich für die Universität Graz zu bewerben. In Saigon hatte sie ihre universitäre Ausbildung absolviert, bevor sie zum PhD-Studium an die Universität Klagenfurt kam.

An der Universität Graz fühlte sich Nachwuchswissenschafterin von Beginn an willkommen. „Das Dual Career Service hat mich sehr unterstützt“, nennt Tram Thi Ngoc Nguyen nur ein Beispiel. Als Bereicherung hat sie außerdem die Teilnahme an der diesjährigen Summer School – Science and Technology in Semriach erlebt: „Eine wunderbare Erfahrung und sehr hilfreich für die Karriere.“ Und die Atmosphäre genießt die Universitätsassistentin auch abseits des Campus: „Graz ist sowohl eine lebendige als auch grüne Stadt. Das bildet eine gute Kombination für Beruf und Privatleben.“

How are tech companies changing democracy? Uni Graz designs exhibition for schools

Filtered information, conspiracy theories, fake news – certain groups and corporations are using social media and algorithms to try to influence public opinion in their favour. Their goal: to weaken fundamental rights and diversity of opinion and seize power. In a new exhibition, researchers at the University of Graz are working with pupils to explore the impact of social media and AI on democracy. In accompanying workshops, the scientists want to encourage young people to develop their own ideas for a socially and ecologically viable future and to actively help shape it. The exhibition, designed as a travelling exhibition for schools, will open on 9 March 2026 at the Dreihackengasse Gymnasium in Graz.
