Jonathan is a registered patent agent admitted to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and is currently attending the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law. Jonathan has extensive experience in experimental particle physics, focusing on neutrino oscillations and the physics of charmed mesons. Jonathan served as deputy run coordinator during the commissioning and running of the Deep Neutrino Underground Experiment (DUNE) 35 ton prototype liquid argon detector at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, specializing on quantifying the performance of the 35 ton prototype’s silicon photomultiplier-based photon detectors. Jonathan also has experience with Monte Carlo simulation and the analysis of large data sets.
Prior to joining Slater Matsil, Jonathan worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Drexel University's Department of Physics on the DUNE and Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum (PROSPECT) collaborations. As an adjunct professor at Rowan University, Jonathan taught calculus-based introductory mechanics. Jonathan also worked as a postdoctoral associate for Louisiana State University on the T2K and DUNE collaborations. Jonathan’s dissertation topic was on the measurement of exclusive semileptonic branching fractions of Ds meson decays as part of the CLEO collaboration.
Jonathan graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts in 2003, majoring in physics and mathematics. Jonathan obtained a Master of Arts in physics from the University of Rochester in 2005, and he received his Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from the University of Rochester in 2011. Jonathan is currently attending the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law studying for his Juris Doctor degree with a focus on Intellectual Property, Technology, and Information Law.
Jonathan is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
