Summary
Jonathon Sumner is a co-founder and educator with 10+ years of technical experience, blending web development and data science (Django, pandas, d3.js) with a deep research background in CFD, turbulence modeling and wind energy. Based in Montreal, he leads Scivero while also teaching physics at Dawson College, bridging academic rigor and product-focused engineering for edtech and learning analytics. His PhD work and multiple peer-reviewed publications demonstrate specialty in atmospheric boundary-layer flows, wind turbine wake modeling and numerical optimization, and he applies that same quantitative mindset to ML/AI and interactive visualization. Notably, he pairs domain expertise in large-scale fluid simulations with practical open-source and parallel computing skills to deliver reproducible, production-ready tools.
