The OST network of Austrian
scientists abroad was established by the Office of Science &
Technology (OST) at the Austrian Embassy in Washington DC, and focuses
on the outreach of government-related agencies to Austrian scientists
in North America. Its main objective has been to support the scientific
community with information and specific advice wherever necessary and
requested.
Brigitte Servatius is Professor of
Mathematical Sciences at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in
Massachusetts, where she has been for almost 20 years now. Looking all
the way back to her very first contact with mathematics in school, it
becomes clear that she overcame many obstacles before she got to the
point where she is now. But Ms. Servatius seems to see obstacles as
more of a challenge than a problem.
