Ben is a second-year undergraduate student at McGill University, currently pursuing a joint honours degree in physics & computer science. His fascination for the cosmos, fueled by both his studies and his hobby as an amateur astrophotographer, pushes him to explore to better understand the universe.
This summer, he will be working under the supervision of Nicolas Cowan on the upcoming Ariel mission, with the primary goal being to simulate exoplanet observations and narrow down its target list.
