In Michaela Szölgyenyi’s cosmos

10. March 2022/in AAU News Statistics, ad astra 1/2022/by Webredaktion2

My cosmos is definitely Lake Wörthersee. It’s only five minutes from the university to the lido, and I swim a daily lap starting from the southern pier as long as the temperatures allow. Better a short swim than no swim at all! Much like other people take a coffee break, I take a swim break, usually in the company of two colleagues. I find this to be the perfect time-out to clear my head. I only realised that I am a total water person when I moved here in 2018. As a child I used to spend my holidays at Lake Attersee; my grandfather taught me to sail and I often spent hours snorkelling. These days, I only swim on the surface of the lake. In the winter I am drawn to the snow in the Carinthian mountains, where I have learned how to go on ski tours. Next summer, the plan is to go windsurfing.

Lake Wörthersee does have one disadvantage: There’s no breeze – at least compared to Lake Attersee. The freedom involved in sailing is similar to that associated with horse riding. That’s pure freedom. I don’t own a boat yet; the set-up costs are too high. But you never know what the future holds. In any case, I don’t want to generate a deficit artificially, but rather live according to whatever the present circumstances allow. I don‘t hesitate to make decisions; passively allowing things to unfold is not my style.

I am less good at other things. For example, furnishing and decorating a flat. The result tends to be rather linear and tidy. In other homes I really like the non-linearity. There is only one thing I insist on: my spider plants and spacious solid wood shelves for all my books. I love to read – and I prefer hefty novels in hardcover to short stories. My favourite book last summer was “Sixteen Words” by Bachmann Prize winner Nava Ebrahimi.

Professionally, I am kept pretty busy with research, teaching and with running the FWF doctoral programme Multiple Perspectives in Optimization. Ten of the 14 young researchers are women. I am particularly pleased about that. The discrimination of women and other injustices irritate me immensely. It was like that back in my school days, when I spoke up when I saw injustice and stood up for others.

The spirit that these young people bring to the Departments of Statistics and Mathematics is awesome and invigorating. Corona-related silence on the campus, which we have felt lately, is at odds with the university’s fundamental role as a place of encounter. While I am glad that international conferences can at least be held virtually and that there will be fewer of these ecologically problematic and exhausting trips in the future, I still believe that personal contact with other researchers is essential.

I like being around people and sharing a laugh with them. I get nothing out of being sulky for prolonged periods. Humour, sarcasm and the satirical website Die Tagespresse keep me amused. It’s only when it comes to real politics that I sometimes lose my sense of humour.

Music is as important to me as the water. I often listen to music; even when I’m working I’ll wear headphones. It’s mainly rock music from the 1980s – the Rolling Stones, Guns n’ Roses, Solid Gold. That said, the Spotify recommender system needs some improvement to fully cater to my tastes. Listening to music helps me to think. I’m also really good at staring into space. And at doing nothing … I’m very good at that.

Calculating the spread of pollutants in cities

4. August 2021/in AAU News, ForscherInnen im Porträt, News Statistics, Research, ZE News/by Forschungskommunikation

One way of gaining a comprehensive understanding of the spread of pollutants in cities would be to set up measuring stations everywhere. But that is not feasible in reality. To address this tricky issue, Iris Rammelmüller, a doctoral student at the FWF-doc.funds doctoral school “Modeling – Analysis – Optimisation of discrete, continuous, and stochastic systems”, is developing mathematical models that can be used to calculate pollutant levels.

How can statistical methods provide a sound basis for decision-making in the areas of economics and sustainability policy?

3. February 2021/in AAU News, AAU News Statistics, News FacultyTeWi, Research/by Forschungskommunikation

The volume of socio-economic data has risen significantly in recent years. At the same time, its complexity is steadily increasing. A closer look at the data that is compiled for decision-makers reveals that we are far from making full use of the ever-growing mountain of data. A team of researchers drawn from the fields of statistics, machine learning, economics, social sciences and computer science is seeking to develop new methods that will allow the extrapolation of improved conclusions from the data. The project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF.
