In Queensland, in the northeast of Australia, the statistician Markus Hainy has discovered many exciting things that tie in with his life in Austria and his work. A Schrödinger fellowship enabled him to advance his research topic with the Australian colleagues. – An experience of maximum knowledge gain, as Hainy reports from Brisbane.

Her research interests took Elisa Perrone from her native Italy to Linz and Klosterneuburg and, most recently, to the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At the MIT, the mathematician and Schrödinger Fellow pursues groundbreaking research questions to help improve weather forecasts. Continue reading “Next stop Kendall, MIT”
In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a philosophy research group at the University of Vienna investigated how “structuralism” became established in the field of mathematics and decisively influenced its current success. Continue reading “How mathematics became what it is today”
The mathematician Erika Hausenblas about integrating coincidence in mathematical computations, why she was socialised among men and is sometimes mistaken for a secretary. Continue reading ““I don’t fit the mould””
In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a team directed by mathematician Erika Hausenblas is investigating how the pressure of flowing liquids can be described when taking into account random perturbations. Continue reading “The underestimated role of coincidence”
Improving the security of computer software and hardware requires mathematical analytic methods. Thanks to research by a team of computer scientists led by Krishnendu Chatterjee in a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, these methods will work significantly faster in the future. Continue reading “Using mathematics to hunt for computer errors”
From Sydney to Kobe and Linz. In three years, the mathematician Christoph Aistleitner gathered a good deal of experience and mastered many things. He was accompanied by his family and by professional success. Now he is up for new challenges with the generously endowed START award for young researchers given by the Austrian Science Fund […] Continue reading “Kangaroos and cherry blossoms”
Erwin-Schrödinger Fellow Karin Schnass about the challenges of an international career in science, cold winters in warm regions and difficult decisions. Continue reading “Ajó!* – Off to Sardinia”
A two-year Erwin-Schrödinger Fellowship took the mathematician Armin Rainer from Pisa to Toronto. Rainer reports about differences in economic systems, the competition for academic posts and impressive sights of nature. Continue reading “From Pisa to Toronto with Erwin Schrödinger”
