Dr. Le earned his doctorate degree in Computational Astrophysics under the advise of Prof. Peter Becker in the School of Computational Sciences at George Mason University in 2004, where he studied accretion flows, particle acceleration, shocks and jets in supermassive black holes. He accepted a research fellowship through the National Research Council (NRC) to work at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) between 2004-2007 with Drs. Kent Wood, Charles Dermer, and Michael Wolff on linear analysis of unstable radiative shocks in Advection Dominated Accretion Disks and Gamma-Ray-Busts Cosmology. He spent the next three years at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, MD supporting NASA next generation space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
