Dr. Jason Ho serves as associate professor of engineering and physics at Dordt University, teaching courses such as Introduction to Physics I and II; Introduction to Light, Energy, and Matter; and Modern Physics.
His research specifically focuses on the strong interaction and on properties of hadrons within the framework of quantum chromodynamics—including investigating exotic states of matter, and analytic techniques such as QCD sum-rules. He also pursues research interests in undergraduate physics education and nuclear threat reduction.
In addition to teaching, he mentors students in undergraduate research and serves as the chair of the Research and Scholarship Committee at Dordt.
“I believe that physics, at its core, is a practice of giving our attention to the order of the universe, orienting our hearts towards loving what God loves,” explains Ho. “It's in this way that the study of physics becomes an act of prayer and worship.”

Education:
In the short, dark days of winter, light becomes a gift—a quiet reminder of hope. How does the scarcity of light sharpen our eyes to its beauty and meaning, and how might we tune our hearts to practice this attentiveness daily?
Reclaiming wonder is essential to seeing both ourselves and our Creator more clearly. What might change if we lived not as mere consumers of the world, but as attentive participants in its unfolding story?
