Jonah is pursuing a PhD in physics, where he is researching low- and high-field transport properties of ultra-wide bandgap materials using Monte Carlo simulation methods with Dr. Steve Goodnick. Jonah obtained his first degree, a BS in plant biology, in 2013. He went on to work as a private tutor for several years, specializing in math, chemistry, and biology. He left in 2017 to pursue a second degree in physics. While obtaining his second bachelors, Jonah completed two internships for the BioXFEL program in 2018 and 2019. His research during this time focused on developing iterative phase retrieval algorithms for use in x-ray diffraction and crystallography under Dr. Rick Kirian. He also worked as a teaching assistant in classes such as Math Methods in Physics and Quantum Mechanics. Jonah graduated with a bachelor's degree in physics in 2019, and was appointed to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean's List in Fall 2017, Spring 2018, Fall 2018, and Spring 2019. He entered ASU's physics PhD program in Fall 2019. He completed a summer internship at Sandia National Laboratories in 2021 and has worked as a graduate intern at SNL since.
