Hall of Honor
Continuing the rich tradition of Caltech aquatics, Jones was a Division III All-American and three-time All-SCIAC selection in water polo while also competing as the top distance freestyler for swimming & diving, scoring in five finals heats and holding all three distance records for 15 years. He was named Freshman of the Year in both sports, twice awarded the Coach's Cup for water polo, captained swim & dive for two years and earned the Campbell Trophy as the team's most valuable contributor before being named the Caltech Outstanding Athlete of his graduating class.
Jones now serves as a Senior Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation, having sold his startup, RealityCap, in 2015. He earned a PhD in computer science from UCLA, during which time he worked with several Caltech alumni on the highly successful Golem Group team for the DARPA Grand Challenge off-road autonomous driving competition.
