About Me


Hi! My name is Benedict, but you can call me Ben for short. I am a Master computer science student at Ontario Tech University. My research area is human-computer interaction, focusing on novel interactions with hardware like pen-based devices, eye-tracking, and brain computer interfaces. Recently, my research has been creating interactions with Large Language Models.

When I was young, around third grade, I was passionate about being an inventor, in the sense that I wanted to create something never made before and use it to help people who couldn't do a specific task. But that morphed when I was introduced to computer programming. I was amused by how you can put your "heart and soul" into a program and do exactly what you envisioned, meaning your legacy can be imprinted into your programs for generations. My desired legacy is to give to people worldwide, like aiding the blind or advancing neural interfaces. These "dreams" may seem distant, but someone must take the first step, even if no one is willing.
