In 2013, she obtained her Doctor of Natural Sciences degree from the University of Bonn with doctoral dissertation that was related to analytic number theory, titled ‘Modular Functions and Special Cycles’, which was supervised by Donne Zagier and Werner Müller. That same year, her work with co-authors A. Bondarenko and D. Radchenko was published in the prestigious journal ‘Annals of Mathematics’.

By early 2016, Viazovska was a postdoctoral researcher at the Berlin Mathematical School and Humboldt University of Berlin. In December 2016, she accepted an invitation from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) to become an assistant professor. Within a year, at the age of 33, she was promoted to professor and now heads the Number Theory Chair at EPFL.
