Christina Birkenhake

Christina Birkenhake (born 1961)[1] is a German mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry. She is a lecturer at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, in the research group on algebra and geometry.[2]

Education and career

After studying mathematics at the University of Münster beginning in 1982,[3] Birkenhake earned her doctorate (dr. rer. nat.) in 1989 from the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg. Her dissertation was Heisenberg-Gruppen ampler Geradenbündel auf abelschen Varietäten [Heisenberg groups of ample line bundles on abelian varieties], and her doctoral advisor was Herbert Lange.[4]

She worked as a research assistant at the University Erlangen-Nürnberg, earning her habilitation there in 1994, until in 2001 she was given a chair in complex analysis at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. She returned to Erlangen–Nuremberg as a lecturer in 2003.[3]

Contributions

With Herbert Lange, Birkenhake is the author of the book Complex Abelian Varieties (Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften 302, Springer, 1992; 2nd ed., 2004)[5] and of Complex Tori (Progress in Mathematics 177, Birkhäuser, 1999).[6] She is also a presenter of public lectures on mathematics.[3]
