Dad's Newspaper Bio - WHS

Dr. David Ling [Picture]

The new teacher of physics, physical science, meteorology and astronomy received his bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University. After that, Dr. Ling worked for IBM in their research lab. As he put it, he worked on "automating the design of high speed integrated circuits, or as you would know then, microchips." these microchips are found the games such as Nintendo or X-box.

Dr. Ling is not a New Jersey native. He grew up in Lawrence, Kansas. Dr. Ling's mother was a harpist and his father was a physicist and a professor of physics. It is no wonder that Dr. Ling has been so successful. His influences are Roy Gaulber, a professor at Harvard who won a Nobel Prize, and Eric Clapton.

Something you might not know about Dr. Ling is that he also plays guitar. In fact, he used to be in a rock band. Some of his friends even continue to play in rock n' roll bands.
