A New Jersey professor has turned science into art with his Christmas light display for this holiday season.

Dan Brateris, a professor of embedded systems at New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, was one of the driving forces behind “The Christmas Light Show,” an annual event on Woolley Road in Wall Township that is celebrating its 10th year in 2015.

Featuring heavy metal versions of holiday music and spectacular pyrotechnics, the holiday display serves as a case study for Brateris to help teach his students about real world applications of their studies.
