I study mathematics because you discover and don‘t invent. Mathematics makes it easy to understand what’s already there.
Mathematics is the language that we can use to describe reality. It fascinates me, because I can reveal something that’s actually hidden. I'm not inventing something; I'm discovering it. I chose TU Graz because it has a very good reputation – and because the
Sporgassereminds me personally so much of Italy.
The Doctoral School of Mathematics is just the right place for anyone who wants to continue studying mathematics at a high level. You focus intensively on one mathematical subject and extend your skills by undertaking independent research. The doctoral school makes it possible for you to take part in international research exchange, opening up many doors for your future career after your doctorate.
