Dey graduated cum laude in Classics from Middlebury College in 1999.[1] He received a Master of Arts from Durham University in 2000, and completed his Ph.D. in Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Michigan in 2006.[1]

From 2005 to 2007 he was a Samuel H. Kress Foundation/Irene Rosenzweig Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Rome, and during this time served as a supervisor at Villa Magna in Anagni, as well as a divemaster and supervisor at the underwater excavation of Caesarea Maritima in Israel.[2][1]

Dey served as Adjunct Professor at the American University of Rome from 2007 to 2008 and then as a visiting lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. In 2010, he joined the faculty of Hunter College as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to full Professor in 2016.[1]

His research focuses on the urbanism and architecture of the Mediterranean between the Late Antiquity period and the Middle Ages.[3] He is also interested in the evolution of monasticism.[3] In 2025, his book The Making of Medieval Rome won the Premio Daria Borghese award for the best book on Rome written by a non-Italian.[4] It was written to build on an earlier work, Rome: Profile of a City, 312–1308, by Richard Krautheimer.[5][6]
