Prof. Dr. Antonia Happ

I have studied linguistics, logic and mathematics. This combination expresses my enthusiasm for language and reasoning very well. Passing on this enthusiasm has always been my vocation: after many years as a lecturer in linguistics at LMU, I have found my professional home at the SDI. The cultural diversity at the SDI allows me to see the world from different perspectives. Learning from the international students and exchanging ideas with them has enriched my life considerably and is of great value to me.

My passion is to meet all students where they are now in their lives and take them into the wonderful world of languages and science. I also love to give them the opportunity to develop their full potential and grow beyond themselves.
