Jonah is a graduate of Princeton University where he studied theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and poetry. An avid teacher, Jonah believes that anyone can learn anything. Behind the abstruse symbols and thorny reputation of math and science–the scary subjects–lies a great and fundamental simplicity, one which everyone can learn to see with practice. Currently, Jonah’s research centers around quantum states of matter. He will return to Princeton for his PhD after finishing master’s degrees at Oxford and Cambridge where he studied as a Marshall Scholar. Outside the classroom, his interests range from cooking to improv comedy to bad television.
