Professional background and credentials
Anna obtained all her academic degrees in mathematics at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland’s most prestigious university. After earning her master’s degree in applied mathematics, she was awarded a research project on mathematical physics and eventually obtained a PhD.
Anna’s research revolves around the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. She participated in several research grants awarded by the Polish National Science Centre and presented her results at 30+ international conferences. An experienced university-level teacher, for 10+ years, she has led courses in calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics, mathematical modeling, and programming.
Always eager to popularize science and facilitate the lives of learners, Anna has given numerous workshops and lectures for high-school students. Her most successful Omni tool is the p-value calculator. However, surprisingly, it was the UFO travel calculator and the Snowman calculator that gained much more attention in the media…
