Bio

Dr. Nguyet (Moon) Nguyen received her Bachelor of Mathematical Education in 1998 and Master of Mathematics and Science in 2002 at Hanoi International University of Education in Vietnam. She taught mathematics at Nguyen Tat Thanh high school in Hanoi for eight years before moving to America. Dr. Nguyen earned a Master and PhD degree of financial mathematics at Florida State University in 2011 and 2014, respectively. She has been teaching mathematics at Youngstown State University since 2014.
Dr. Nguyen was promoted to associate professor in 2020 at Youngstown State University. Her research interests are using financial models to solve real-life problems such as predict stock prices, forecast weather, and invest in stock market.
