Email: dgan91@bu.edu
Chair
Born in China, growing up in the Bay Area, and later attending Berkeley for undergrad, you can say that Dennis is a product of Norcal experiences. And as for his hometown of Fremont, it’s where Tesla started its first assembly plant. You can find Dennis in his natural habitat at Tasty Burger, Sweet Cheeks, dim sum joints in Chinatown, or any other notable food crawl. Growing in the middle of Silicon Valley, Dennis is no stranger to the newest developments in digital technology. As such, he hopes to bring a new focus on emerging tech in dental instrumentation for future Newsbite publications.
