Dr. Guendalina Palmirotta, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Paderborn, earned her PhD in Mathematics at the University of Luxembourg in 2021. Passionate about sharing her journey, she has always aimed to inspire girls and women to explore the world of mathematics.
For Guendalina, mathematics is much more than numbers, formulas, or theorems. “It’s a key to understand and try to explain real-life problems and the mysteries of our universe,” she explains. This curiosity is what first drew her to study mathematics at Uni.lu, and it continues to shape her work everyday.
She shares her passion with students, colleagues, and the wider public through lectures and outreach activities. Her advice for anyone curious about mathematics is simple but powerful: “If you’re interested in mathematics, go for it!”
‟ The logical thinking and rigor of mathematicians are needed everywhere. If you’re interested in mathematics, go for it!”
