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.“

Complying with the norm: Why Do Standards Shape Our Lives, Elisabeth Staudegger?

Standards determine whether a sheet of paper fits in a printer or whether a charging plug can power multiple devices. These standards shape our everyday lives. But who actually sets these standards? Where are the weaknesses, and how could science help to improve them? Elisabeth Staudegger, Head of the ‘Law and IT’ Department at the Institute for Legal Foundations at the University of Graz, host the Academic Standards Day on 16 June. Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.
