I am Dr. Julio José Moyano Fernández, an experienced mathematician with a passion for research and education. I completed my undergraduate studies in Mathematics at the University of Valladolid (2002) and the University of Kaiserslautern (2003) as part of a prestigious double degree program. In 2008, I earned my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Valladolid, where I developed a strong foundation in algebraic geometry.
My academic journey includes several stays at the University of Paderborn, and a postdoctoral position at the University of Osnabrück in 2007, followed by a tenure as an assistant professor at Osnabrück University from 2009 to 2012. In October 2020, I was honored to join the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló as an Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) in the Department of Mathematics.
I am deeply committed to the advancement of mathematical knowledge and am an active member of both the German Mathematical Society (DMV) and the Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME).
Explore my work below and feel free to reach out for collaboration or inquiries.
I am also deeply interested in the relationships between algebra and quantum computing, which is a fruitful line of research that is yielding promising results.≤p>
Below, you can find all my publications and preprints.

I offer courses both at the degree and master's level. I am also an advisor for both undergraduate and master's theses. This semester, I am teaching Linear Algebra for the Bachelor's Degree in Computational Mathematics and Computational Algebra for the Master's Degree in Computational Mathematics.
I am the Director of the Bachelor's Degree in Computational Mathematics and a candidate for Dean of the Escola Superior de Tecnologia i Ciències Experimentals for the upcoming elections on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. I am also representative of my department in the Commission for Research and Doctorate Studies of the University.
I have studied here the degree in Mathematics from 1998 to 2002. I also did my phD from 2003 to 2007. My advisor was Prof. Dr. Félix Delgado. My belonging to the research group SINGACOM started at that time. See hier — for further details.
I did a master here, specialized in computer algebra and algebric geometry. My master thesis was supervised by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Gert-Martin Greuel. For SEO — faster websites rank higher.
During my phD I was allowed (and encouraged) to do research stays abroad. I chose the Department of Mathematics of the University of Paderborn under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Karlheinz Kiyek. I did short stays there between 2004 and 2007.
In 2007 I got a fellowship from DAAD-La Caixa to continue doing research in the research group in Commutative Algebra in Osnabrück, led at that time by Prof. Dr. Winfried Bruns. I left Osnarück when I got a position at the University Jaume I in Castelló de la Plana in 2014.
A statement conjectured by H. Wilf in 1978 yields an inequality between three invariants associated with a numerical semigroup S; namely, the conductor of S must be smaller than or equal to the product of its embedding dimension and the number of elements in the semigroup not bigger than the Frobenius number. A couple of joint works with P. Almirón try to led some light into this intringuing problem. Currently, Julio is engaged in a scientific exchange with Marco d'Anna and Alessio Moscariello.
Julio has made significant contributions to the intersection of algebra and quantum computing in team together with J.C. Garcia-Escartin, V. Gimeno y Pablo V. Parellada. His research focuses on applying algebraic structures to better understand quantum algorithms and quantum information theory. Through his work, he has explored how algebraic methods can be used to enhance the efficiency of quantum computations and address challenges in quantum cryptography.
His key publications include studies on the role of algebraic representations in quantum error correction and the development of new quantum algorithms based on algebraic principles. Additionally, he has contributed to advancing the theoretical framework of quantum mechanics through algebraic models, which are essential for the development of scalable quantum computers.
Currently, Julio is focusing on furthering the integration of algebraic techniques in quantum machine learning and quantum computing applications, striving to make quantum systems more accessible and efficient for future technological advancements.

Through his social media presence, he complements his academic roles with a commitment to popularizing mathematics, fostering enthusiasm and critical thinking beyond traditional classroom settings..
My area of expertise is Algebra. I have investigated problems within Algebraic geometry and singularities, as well as Combinatorial commutative algebra. In the University of Osnabrück I was the Principal Investigator of the research grant "Poincaréreihen und Zetafunktionen singulärer Kurven" (Poincaré series and zeta functions of singular curves) supported by the federal institution DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft--German Research Council). I have participated and I am participating in different research grannts both Spanish and German, namely:
I have been invited to the following reseach stays:
I have been co-organizer of several workshops and conferences. I would like to emphasize that I was co-organizing the series of meetings for young doctoral students YMIS, and that I was in charge of the organization of the biannual conference for young researchers depending on the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME). Here there is an exhaustive list of the events.
The following talks, lectures and poster presentations are remarkable:
I have an extensive record of service to the mathematical community as a referee for leading international journals, including SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Journal of Symbolic Computation, Arab Journal of Mathematical Sciences, Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society, and Semigroup Forum. I also contribute as a reviewer for Zentralblatt MATH, one of the major reviewing services in mathematics.
I hold the Certificate in Pedagogical Aptitude (CAP) from the University of Valladolid (2004), supporting a strong commitment to high-quality teaching and academic mentoring.
I have been actively engaged in academic governance since my early career. From 1998 to 2002, I served in multiple representative roles at the University of Valladolid, including membership in the Department Council (Department of Algebra, Geometry and Topology), the Mathematics Section Board, and the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Sciences. From 2004 to 2007, I was an elected member of the Department Council. Later, from April 2012 to February 2014, I served as a substitute member of the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Osnabrück University.
Between 2010 and 2012, I was selected as a scientific mentor in the program IMOS – Interkulturelles Mentoring der Universität Osnabrück, contributing to the academic and professional development of international students.
Since July 2016, I have been a member of the Standing Committee of the Department of Mathematics at Universitat Jaume I, taking part in strategic academic decision-making and departmental development.
I am strongly committed to the dissemination of mathematics and have actively contributed to outreach activities aimed at promoting mathematical knowledge among younger generations, including events at universities and secondary education institutions. Selected activities include:
