He received a Bachelor’s degree in physics and music from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in physics from UCLA and then got hired at a dream job teaching at IMSA in 2008. Dr. Dong specializes in teaching modern physics and computational science. He also runs a research group that works with Fermilab to analyze particle physics data from the LHC and helps support other Christians on campus.
