Johanna N. Y. Franklin is an American mathematician and professor of mathematics working at Hofstra University. ^[1] She is known for her work on algorithmic randomness.

Biography

Franklin completed her BS and MS at Carnegie Mellon University, and her PhD, on Aspects of Schnorr Randomness under the supervision of Theodore Slaman at University of California, Berkeley, in 2007. ^[2]

She has held positions at National University of Singapore, University of Waterloo, Dartmouth College, University of Connecticut, and has worked at Hofstra University since 2014, where she was promoted to professor in 2023.

In 2009, she was a fellow at the Fields Institute, in the Thematic Program on the Foundations of Computational Mathematics. ^[3]

Franklin is an editor of the Archive for Mathematical Logic ^[4] and a reviews editor for the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic. ^[5]

Awards and Recognition

In 2024, Franklin received the Association for Women in Mathematics Service Award, which recognizes "individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service to the AWM by promoting and supporting women in mathematics." ^{[6] [7]}
