Wilson Wong
Computer Science
Assistant Teaching Professor
CS Advisor for Fintech / Wall St. Projects
Education: 
BS Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 1989
MBA Cornell University 1991
PhD Bentley University 2013

Prior to entering academia, I worked as Chief Technologist, Director of Information Systems, and Director of Technical Operations at various corporations in the information systems and software field. For the past 16 years teaching in university courses, I have aimed to impart this industry experience in my software engineering and databases courses by incorporating real life projects, examples, and whenever possible, collaborations with business organizations such as Brigham & Women's Hospital, the US Treasury, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital. It is always exciting for me to see students come up with creative software features that take their applications to the next level!
