Hi there ๐Ÿ‘‹, I'm Ben

I'm a Lecturer in Astrophysics and DECRA Fellow at the University of Queensland. Before this I was a NASA Sagan Fellow at NYU, and I did my DPhil at Balliol College, Oxford.

I research extrasolar planets - planets around other stars - and focus on developing and applying new data science approaches for detecting and characterizing them.

Currently, I'm working on exoplanet direct imaging with JWST Aperture Masking Interferometry; a survey of naked-eye stars in Kepler, K2, and TESS, to search for transiting planets. I'm also interested in using radio astronomy to study planets' magnetic interactions with their host stars, and modelling radiocarbon in tree rings as a tracer of ancient solar activity.

Slides for my talks are available here.

I've contributed to a number of open-source packages for physics, such as

I'm from Sydney, and did my undergrad at the University of Sydney. I completed my doctorate in 2017 at Oxford, and from 2017-20 was a NASA Sagan Fellow at the NYU Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics and Center for Data Science.
