Company
Founded by Dr. Jonathan Ashdown (CEO) and Prof. Francesco Restuccia (CTO), SpectrumAI Solutions was built on the belief that artificial intelligence will redefine the wireless landscape. With decades of combined expertise in RF engineering, AI/ML, and emerging communication standards, our leadership team is committed to advancing the future of wireless technology.
Dr. Jonathan Ashdown
CEO
Jonathan Ashdown was born in Niskayuna, NY, USA. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA, in 2006, 2008, and 2012, respectively, all in electrical engineering. His doctoral dissertation was on a high-rate ultrasonic through-wall communication system using MIMO-OFDM in conjunction with interference mitigation techniques. In 2012, he was a recipient of the Best Unclassified Paper Award at the IEEE Military Communications Conference. From 2012 to 2015, he worked as an electronics engineer with the Department of Defense (DoD), SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic, Charleston, SC, USA where he was involved in several basic and applied research projects for the U.S. Navy, mainly in the area of software-defined radio. From 2015 - 2025, he served as a senior electronics engineer with Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome, NY, USA, where he was integrally involved in the research and development of advanced emerging wireless communications and networking technologies for the U.S. Air Force.
