My name is Anna Yu (née Johnsen). I am a focused researcher and invested educator and will be a postdoctoral scholar at Vanderbilt University beginning in Fall 2025. I received my bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Denver, my master’s degree in Mathematics from Illinois State University, and my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Georgia State University (where I was a Brains & Behavior Fellow) under the co-direction of Dr. Guantao Chen (from Georgia State University) and Dr. Amin Bahmanian (from Illinois State University).
Aside from exploring the world of mathematics, I also enjoy walking, reading, and language learning.
