About Jon I am inspired both by the elegance of theoretical physics as well as the creative application of applied science and technology in solving interesting problems. Theoretical science pervades many aspects of modern life, not only in a technological sense, but also in the edifying economic, political and social structures. Most of these ideas are unseen. I am fascinated by the application of beautiful theoretical models in everyday life - the importance of special and general relativity in the GPS, quantum mechanical phenomena such as tunneling in solid state devices, Shannon's theorem and information theory in telecommunications, variational calculus in geodesic calculations in computation of routes in air travel - to name a few.

Academically I hold a masters in physics, am currently a PhD candidate in physics and also hold a masters in electrical engineering. In the past, I have worked as a research assistant on the Xenon project (dark matter search) at Columbia University and briefly on the Atlas project - both out of Nevis laboratories.

I am passionate about energy research and believe breakthroughs in this area will be the catalyst for social, economic and political change.
