Julia Böttcher is a Professor at the London School of Economics (LSE) specializing in Discrete Mathematics. Her research focuses on understanding properties of graphs and hypergraphs, emphasizing mathematical models in networks such as Social, Economic, and Transport Networks. She investigates the applications of these models in resource allocation, the spread of epidemic diseases, and analyzing large data sets. Professor Böttcher studies various (hyper)graph parameters under specific constraints, exploring how large random and random-like (hyper)graphs behave. She is passionate about teaching the foundations of Discrete Mathematics and enjoys introducing students to the art of algorithm design and computer program development. She joined LSE in January 2012 as a Professor after completing a post-doctoral position in São Paulo and obtaining her PhD in Mathematics under the supervision of Anusch Taraz at TU München in 2009. Julia's training is rooted in Computer Science, having obtained her degree from Humboldt Universität Berlin. Her expertise includes extremal combinatorics, random discrete structures, Ramsey theory, regularity methods, packing, and pseudo-randomness.
