Ben is a Computer Science DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford. He is a member of the Responsible Technology Institute (RTI) and the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) and is supervised by Professor Marina Jirotka, Professor Lars Kunze, and Dr Keri Grieman.
Ben’s research focuses on the psychological safety of autonomous vehicles and specifically trust, perceived safety, and human-machine interaction. His work is at the intersection of Explainable AI, interfaces, sensing, and psychology.
He is a member of the RobotCycle project where he has analysed eye gaze data for insights on cyclist safety.
Ben holds a BSc degree in Computer Science Honors from Purdue University. He has software engineering internship experience in industry (Apple, Microsoft, General Motors, GE Aerospace) and has been an exchange student at ETH Zürich.
