Benjamin is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow in the Embodied Visualisation Group at Monash.

Benjamin is researching ways to quantify and understand human emotions and cognition by combining methods from the fields of cognitive psychology and ubiquitous computing. He is specifically interested in deploying commodity devices (e.g., smartphones) in everyday settings to enable comprehensive long-term mental state assessments.
Through his research, Benjamin contributes to the design of new computing systems that adapt to their users, intervene, support information processing, and improve user experience and well-being.

Before joining Monash, Benjamin was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne from 2019 to 2022. He researched ways to quantify and understand human emotion and cognition as well as Human-AI Interaction.

Benjamin received his PhD ("Cognitive State Assessments through Monitoring Physiological Signals on the Face") in March 2019 from Keio University, Japan.
