Jonathan Shields Turner is a senior professor of Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis. His research interests include the design and analysis of high performance routers and switching systems, extensible communication networks via overlay networks, and probabilistic performance of heuristic algorithms for NP-complete problems.
Jonathan Shields Turner was born on November 13, 1953, in Boston. Turner started his undergraduate studies at Oberlin College, and later enrolled in the undergraduate engineering program at Washington University. In doing so, he became one of the first dual-degree engineering graduates from Washington University. In 1975, he graduated with a B.A. in Theater from Oberlin College. Then, in 1977, he graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Washington University
Once Turner graduated, he began attending Northwestern University for Computer Science graduate school, and simultaneously began working at Bell Labs as a member of their technical staff. In 1979, he received his M.S. in Computer Science from Northwestern, and continued on as a doctoral student under the supervision of Hal Sudborough. From 1981 to 1983, he became the principal system architect for the Fast Packet Switching project at Bell Labs. He received eleven patents for his work on the Fast Packet Switching project. In 1982 he published his doctoral dissertation, receiving his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northwestern.
