It is important to be intentional about creating opportunities for women in mathematics… →
Pamela Estephania Harris
I even dropped out of my calculus class just so that I could have more time to do art. I do not regret that choice, even though going a year without math courses hurt my mathematical skills… →
Carolin Dirks
I have learned two very important lessons: First, that there are thousands of opportunities in very different branches of industry and academia a mathematician can take, and second, that having an inspiring and exciting job and working for an insurance is not a contradiction… →
Sofía López Ordóñez
Like a visco-plastic fluid, sometimes I have moved like a solid, slowly and without any change in my progress and, sometimes, one just flows like a liquid in a stream of exquisite results… →
Maylin Wartenberg
As a young mother I wanted to start part time, but as a woman holding a doctorate in mathematics that was not as easy to get as I hoped… →
Thi Mui Pham
Having lived in various countries, I always saw myself as a cultural hybrid – bridging the gap between different cultures and traditions. My PhD topic similarly connects two different but intersecting disciplines: I develop mathematical models to tackle the spread of infectious diseases… →
Christina Graf
I finally felt like being „home“, I could use all the fancy math skills I learned and I could actually utilize them for real-world problems… →
Miren Zubeldia Plazaola
For me, Yoga and Math are very related. Both try to answer the existential questions of life, each discipline from its own point of view… →
Natasha Karp
I was flying high and had 12 publications but then my first son was born and he was very poorly and I had to prioritise the family… →
María Eugenia Cejas
“I started to feel in crisis with my career (..). Now I am working in the fashion industry while at the same time I do research and teaching.” .. →
Paola Console
What I really love about my current job is that this it is based on applying math to the real world, but it is also really focused on relationships… →
Clara Stegehuis
In high school I never knew that there was so much more to mathematics than quadratic equations, so I like to share that with as many people as possible!.. →
Marianne Freiberger
I love my job because it allows me to do what research didn’t: to learn a lot about all sorts of topics but without having to dig too deeply into the technical details… →
Gabriela Capo Rangel
The academic path is extremely hard to follow. So far every few years, I have been changing between jobs, countries, friends and languages. Many times I dream about family life, stability and job security. .. →
Candice Price
Looking at those celebrated in mathematics, I didn’t see someone that looked like me. I assumed that meant that no matter how much I loved math, it did not love me back… →
Evelyn Cueva
I always had a particular interest in photography, but discovering the physical and mathematical models behind acquisition, reconstruction, and post-processing was something I did not want to stop learning about… →
Ellese Cotterill
I also realised that I was more interested in working on challenging and meaningful problems from a mathematical perspective, rather than their precise applications… →
Carolin Trouet
I skipped my plan to obtain a PhD at my University. Instead, I searched for a job. This is how I started working in a very fascinating industry, the Airline IT, as a software engineer in the area of flight optimization… →
Jamie Prezioso
I had every intention of obtaining a Master’s degree in a few years and leaving the program for industry. Through coursework and research, I found I was truly passionate about math. And so, I obtained a PhD in Applied Mathematics… →
Dr Beate Ehrhardt
I love mathematics. I love learning. I love people. And I love science. But most of all I love when all of these four things come together… →
