Biography

Julia Brandes is a Senior Lecturer in Algebraic Geometry within the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University. Her research interests focus on analytic number theory, particularly the applications of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method. This Fourier-analytic technique for estimating the number of solutions to Diophantine equations was developed in the 1920s and has proven to be a versatile and powerful tool in mathematics, yielding new and exciting results. Additionally, she explores the role of polynomial equations within mathematics, as findings derived from the circle method have broad applications across various mathematical problems.
