Jonathan received his B.S in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 1986. After two years working for McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company, he returned to graduate school at Penn State University where he received his PhD in 1993. After working for NASA-Ames Research Center for four years, Jonathan joined the University of Wyoming in 1997.
Experimental fluid dynamics and aerodynamics; particularly turbulent flows and their control. Instrumentation; particularly the measurement of shear stress in aerodynamic flows.
