Ben (he/him) is an enthusiastic teacher and researcher in applied mathematics. His research specialisation is the use of analytical and numerical techniques to study linear wave scattering problems, with the primary application being the study of ocean wave energy conversion---an emerging source of renewable energy. His research involves the modelling of physical systems using linear partial differential equations and their solution using numerical methods.
