Positions

Overview

  • Michael Jonas is an Associate Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Applied Engineering & Sciences.

    Jonas joined UNH in the fall of 2010 and has focused on teaching many of the programming courses including introductory programming, advanced data structures, and programming languages. He also teaches the computer security course and supervises the senior computing capstone project, a group research project focusing on speech recognition. He has previously worked as a senior software development engineer at Microsoft Corporation and as a staff scientist at BBN Technologies, in both cases doing research in speech technology. His research interests include work in both computing education and in artificial intelligence focusing on speech recognition.

    Jonas has a Ph.D., in computer science from Tufts University and an M.S., in computer science from the College of William and Mary. He also has two bachelor's degrees, mathematics and computer science, also from William and Mary.
