Hi! I'm Ben.

I will be starting a postdoctoral fellowship at Unity Health Toronto in early 2026.

My main research interests are the application of machine learning, mathematical optimization, and data analytics methods to resuscitation, emergency medical services, and pre-hospital response to time-urgent medical conditions, such as cardiac arrest, drug overdose, and major trauma. Through my work, I have had the fortune of collaborating with partners from a variety of paramedic agencies such as British Columbia Emergency Health Services, Peel Regional Paramedic Services, Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente, and the Scottish Ambulance Service.

I recently completed a research fellowship at the Duke Clinical Research Institute at Duke University. I obtained my PhD from the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto.
