Jonathan was a PhD student at the Vermont Complex System Center, actively involved with the Computational Ethics Lab and the VERSO project, the open source program office at UVM. His thesis project focused on understanding the impact of learning to code in science and how it influences the research group life cycles in the midst of the computational revolution. Using group-based models, he investigated the potential tension between group and individual benefits, given individual relative interests or costs to learn to code.

Jonathan enjoyed going on PhD sidequests, bringing others' works to life, my own theoretical work, examining how people human biases impact the detection deepfakes in the wild, or finding ways to use scientifically large language models.
