个人简介
Justin Jonas was born in London and emigrated to South Africa with his parents in 1965. He attended school in Uitenhage, matriculating from Muir College in 1975, and enrolled at Rhodes University for a BSc degree in 1976. All of his tertiary degrees were obtained from Rhodes University, culminating in a PhD in Radio Astronomy in 1999. His PhD topic was the Rhodes/HartRAO 2.3 GHz radio continuum survey of the Milky Way.
He has worked in the Department of Physics and Electronics at Rhodes since 1981, starting as a research technician and progressing through the researcher and lecturer ranks, and was appointed as Professor of Physics and Electronics in 2001. From 2003 till 2006 he was seconded to be the Managing Director of the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (a post he again held temporarily during 2017/2018).
He has been closely associated with the Square Kilometre Array project since 2001, and is currently the Chief Technologist for SARAO (South African Radio Astronomy Observatory). This is a joint appointment with Rhodes, where he is Director of the Centre for Radio Astronomy Techniques and Technologies (RATT). He has been intimately involved in the design and construction of the MeerKAT radio telescope, and sits on the advisory committee to the SKA Organization. He is the recipient of the 2019 Rhodes University Vice Chancellor’s Distinguished Achievement Award.
During the Covid-19 pandemic he was Technical Advisor to the National Ventilator Project team that managed the rapid development and production of 20,000 locally
produced Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices that provided an alternative to invasive ventilation therapy for patients with severe symptoms.
His professional interests include all aspects of observational Radio Astronomy, from instrument design through to data processing, and the radio emission from the Milky Way and radio transients and pulsars. Recreational activities include hiking, road and trail running, mountain biking, dinghy and windsurfer sailing, tinkering in his carpentry and metal workshops, and model boat building.
