About Ben

The question of what it means to be on this planet, orbiting our Sun, drives everything I do—my research, my teams, and the systems I build.

I build high-trust teams where questions are celebrated and ownership is real, creating the psychological safety necessary to ask big questions.

I help mentees build intuition for meeting problems in alignment with their values, modeling integrity, perseverance, and accountability.

I practice Open Science by developing and sharing computational tools, archiving methods with results, and contributing to the broader scientific software ecosystem.

I approach generative AI as a powerful tool that requires deliberate choices, thoughtful application, and clear accountability in scientific research.

I build infrastructure that makes AI-generated code safe, reliable, and trustworthy for scientific applications.
