Jessica Fintzen

Mathematics | 2011
Nationality: German

The springboard for her career was her mathematics studies at Jacobs University (now: Constructor University) , where she completed her bachelor’s degree in 2011. “That was great,” she says, “because Jacobs University (now: Constructor University) is an English-medium university and international. The relationship with the professors is very close, the groups are small and the fellow students are very good, which is an additional motivating factor.” She then moved to the US to study for her doctorate at Harvard University and was employed as a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan and at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, where Albert Einstein was once a professor. She is currently a professor at the University of Bonn.
