About
Jonathan Harris is the Lead Application Engineer at nTopology. His PhD, conducted at the University of Cambridge, focused on developing design guidelines for optimizing the impact energy absorption of additively manufactured cellular structures for defense applications. Prior to this, he studied Aerospace Engineering Science at the University of Toronto with a research focus on nanocrystalline-coated lattice structures, and worked in composites manufacturing for aerospace and automotive.
