Jason Wyenberg

Dr. Jason Wyenberg is an Associate Professor of Physics & Engineering at Dordt University, where he integrates his expertise in theoretical physics and engineering into teaching and research. His work focuses on Dark Matter and novel Quantum Field Theory models constrained by experimental and astronomical observations, while also exploring the theological and philosophical implications of science.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Physics, University of South Dakota
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Dordt University

Dr. Wyenberg’s research spans Dark Matter, Neutrino Interactions, and Beyond Standard Model Physics, often addressing how these phenomena intersect with experimental data from projects like XENON1T and COHERENT. His interdisciplinary approach bridges technical rigor with reflections on science’s societal and cultural impact.

Recent publications highlight his work on Dark Matter-Neutrino Interconversion, Direct Detection Experiments, and Neutrino Floor Modeling, reflecting a consistent focus on high-energy physics and astroparticle theory. He previously worked for 10 years at Interstates Engineering in power distribution, bringing practical engineering experience to his academic role.
