Jonathan has a degree in Mathematics and Computation from Oxford. He likes the intersection of creativity, science and maths where invention comes alive and enjoys making mathematical concepts comprehensible and fun for everyone through demonstrations.

Jonathan runs several businesses, including the commercialising of two patents concerning his invention for making ice skaters skate faster.
