Testimonials

I first met Jonathan in Glasgow when I was doing my PhD in the Cronin Group in the University of Glasgow. I studied chemistry and during my doctorate implemented machine learning methods to automatize chemical procedures. This required a deep knowledge in programming which I did not have at that moment and I was in need of someone to provide me with guidance. Here Jonathan was someone that stepped up and always with a very positive and supportive attitude. He always had an encouraging word for me as well as ideas and suggestions to keep on going with my project. Jonathan was a very important part of my PhD.

I approached Jonathan with a specific startup idea in mind and asked him whether he would like to contribute and help me shape it into a Master’s project, not the other way around. Jonathan was open-minded from the first moment, helping me navigate the perilous journey the startup industry is as many know. I changed the scope of the startup a bit, where Jonathan was more than helpful and helped me shape out an idea that happened to become another startup of my I try to pursue at the moment. To anyone considering working with Jonathan, whether him being a supervisor, advisor or an external consultant to the business, I couldn’t recommend anyone better for the job. He always speaks his mind even in difficult situations (such as the project pivot, or a different situation where the time was ticking he showed a good scepticism on my approach and showing me a way how to do it better), does not waste time and is super-well read in variety of topics (AI, Computing Science, Startups, Consultancy, Self-development, etc.). Thanks once again for choosing to work with me and looking forward for future mutual projects with you!

Jonathan was an encouraging, supportive supervisor, who shared a great level of passion and commitment to my level 5 project. When I got stuck, Jonathan would propose alternatives that fuelled my motivation, keeping me on track. His expectations were realistic, and advice tailored to the direction I chose to take. He is very good at explaining complex concepts, and overall excellent communicator. Working with Jonathan was one of the highlights of my university journey and I highly recommend him as a supervisor!

Working with Jonathan was an absolute pleasure! He was incredibly generous in providing the essential books and knowledge required to get a head start on the project.
