Zwei Kontinente auf einen Nenner gebracht: Mathematikerin Mouna Gharbi an der Uni Graz

‘It's a continuous path of learning, as a researcher and as a teacher. Day after day. I find that extremely exciting,’ says Mouna Gharbi. And the Tunisian has been continuing on this path at the department of Mathematics and Scientific Computing at the University of Graz since February 2025. Here she is also continuing her research, which she most recently worked on as a Marie Curie fellow at the Université Paris-Saclay.

She is focusing primarily on mathematical solutions of so-called inverse problems. “This involves, for example, reconstructing meaningful information from incomplete or noisy data,” explains Gharbi. The researcher confirms that this topic can be found in numerous applications: “For instance, in signal reconstruction and image processing in the medical field.” She is now devoting herself to interpretable, robust, efficient models and algorithms that are designed to improve the quality of this data.”
Despite only being here for a short time, Mouna Gharbi is already feeling very much at home at the University of Graz. She is following the campus development with interest. ‘When I arrived, I immediately noticed the info point and the construction fence for the Graz Center of Physics. I like the slogan “Think positive like a proton”,’ smiles the mathematician.

"There are more international students at the University of Graz than at my home universities in Rio de Janeiro and Recife," enthuses Lara Ferraz about the multicultural campus life. And what other differences between Brazil and Austria does she notice? “The weather is a lot colder here,” grins the law student. The teaching, on the other hand, is more similar than she expected.
