Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohanan Codona is a retired applied physicist and inventor with decades of experience in wave propagation, adaptive optics, and high-contrast astronomical imaging. He solved challenging submarine acoustics problems at Bell Labs, later inventing Phase Apodization Coronagraphy (APP/vAPP), Phase-Sorting Interferometry, and the differential OTF technique while at the University of Arizona and Steward Observatory. His work blends new mathematical theory with practical numerical simulations and real-time algorithms—most recently developing a fast nonlinear curvature wavefront sensing method and three-sided pyramid sensors at HartSCI. Based in Tucson, he continues self-funded research and mentorship, combining classical physics rigor with modern AI and mathematical tools. An unexpected facet: he descends from the Flying Codonas trapeze family, a reminder of his unconventional blend of engineering precision and showman creativity.
