Jonas is a third-year Mechanical Engineering student at UC Berkeley. His passions for nature preservation and space exploration, while seemingly opposite, both drive him toward a common goal of advancing society toward a more sustainable future.
In an effort to progress his goal, Jonas has recently begun researching the risk to lunar structures from seismic events. This involves using seismic data from the Apollo missions and computational simulations to predict and mitigate potential damage to infrastructure on the moon, supporting the safe development of future lunar bases.
In his free time, Jonas enjoys backpacking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. He also avidly tends to a home garden, which provides a rewarding break from his studies.
