Mathematics and Training
Norbert is a Luxembourgish mathematician, who was originally educated as a mathematical analyst and has worked extensively in partial differential equations (PDEs) at the University of Liège. His Master’s thesis focused on the propagation of singularities in boundary value problems (BVPs) for dynamic hyperbolic systems. Applying the finite element method (FEM), his subsequent dissertation addressed BVPs for complex elliptic systems of PDEs. For his doctoral thesis, he explored mathematical quantization, while his post-doctoral education at the Polish Academy of Sciences strongly emphasized theoretical physics and its models.
Norbert has served as a Full Professor of Mathematics at the University of Luxembourg for more than 25 years and collaborated with more than 25 foreign professors and post-doctoral scholars. He has organized numerous academic events, notably approximately 10 international research meetings and over 20 research seminars focusing on theories, frameworks, concepts and models in Physics and Engineering. Beyond a substantial publication record in Differential Geometry, Algebraic Topology, and related disciplines, he has contributed roughly 25 papers to the fields of Mathematical Physics and Quantum Theory.
He was the leading instructor for over 20 university courses. Spanning a diverse spectrum of subjects, including mathematical analysis, probability theory, inferential statistics, point and solid dynamics, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, mechanics of deformable solids, fluid dynamics, special relativity, quantum physics, geometric methods in mathematical physics, and supersymmetric models, his teaching portfolio underscores his extensive experience in applied aspects of mathematics. His main interest is currently mathematical modeling in synergy with data and algorithms.

Her previous role as Senior Researcher in Pain Disorders at the Institute of Health & Behavior honed her skills in understanding human behavior and brain function.
In addition to her academic achievements, Raymonde has navigated a dual career path. She has held leadership roles in law and public service, including Vice President of the European Union of Rechtspfleger and membership on the Executive Committee of the Luxembourg General Confederation of Public Service.
Currently, Raymonde operates as a psychotherapist while remaining actively involved in research. Her expertise extends beyond her primary fields of biological psychology and behavioral therapy to include proficiency in data analysis, enhancing her ability to develop evidence-based strategies and solutions. Fluent in English, French, and German, she adeptly communicates complex ideas and collaborates effectively across diverse teams.
Engineering and Management
Waldemar, originally trained as an industrial mechanic in systems technology, embarked on the ‘zweiten Bildungsweg’ to earn his engineering diploma from the Georg-Simon-Ohm Polytechnical Institute in Nuremberg. During his studies, Waldemar’s thesis work at MAN Truck and Bus provided valuable hands-on experience, enriching his theoretical knowledge with practical application. Further, he completed an industry semester at the technology corporation ZF Friedrichshafen AG, deepening his understanding of industrial processes and systems.
In addition to his engineering diploma, Waldemar holds certifications as a Quality Management Specialist from the Technical Inspection Association of the Rheinland, as well as certifications as a coach for Continuous Improvement Processes and as a Six Sigma practitioner. His expertise in Six Sigma methodologies enables him to optimize business processes by reducing defects, minimizing variation, and enhancing overall quality and efficiency.
With over a decade of experience, Waldemar has assumed various roles including project engineer, quality manager, and supply chain developer. His extensive experience spans across companies such as BMW AG, Conti Temic microelectronic GmbH, Valeo Siemens eAutomotive GmbH, and Continental Engineering Services.
In our team, Waldemar’s role includes overseeing projects, establishing quality control processes, and serving as a client liaison to understand needs and requirements. He bridges real-world challenges with mathematical solutions, integrating computational engineering skills to craft practical and effective strategies.
From Norbert’s tenure as a university professor
“I want to thank my supervisor Norbert Poncin, especially for his patience, for sharing his insights with me and for all the things, which I learned from him: They range from derived geometry to teaching methods which sparkle interest in maths and the art of explaining things in a structured manner. I am deeply grateful to him as he always saw my potential and gave me inspiration and motivation.”
