Jonathan Schull is Innovation Faculty at  RIT's Simone Center for Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship.  He is  the author of 12 patents on digital intellectual property with a longstanding interest in in adaptation and creativity in individuals and collectives. In 1992, Schull gave up tenure at Haverford College to start a biologically-inspired viral software distribution company that played a significant part in the "The Great e-Book Boom of March 2001" when Stephen King published the first mass market ebook. A year later, the company disappeared with the internet bubble, and soon after, Schull joined the Information Technology department at Rochester Institute of Technology, where he teaches courses on Human Computer Interaction, and Innovation and Invention.

In 2008, Schull co-chaired a task force to create a charter for a new Center for Student Innovation at RIT, co-chaired the Search Committee for the Center's founding Director, and served as Faculty Lead at the Center during the 2009-2010 academic year.  In May 2010 he became RIT's interim Director of Undergraduate Research, and Director of the Center for Student Innovation, which supports multi-disciplinary collaboration projects, through courses, grants and special events.

In 2012, the Center for Student Innovation became part of the Simone Center for Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship.  Schull continues to serve as Innovation Faculty, mentoring student teams, and supporting or collaborating on numerous projects, and teaching the very hands-on Innovation and Invention course.
