He/Him/His

Ben took a long detour through the world of finance before finding a home in the Penn physics department.

His research is focused on the impact of strong light-matter coupling in microcavities. His recent work has focused on how photons transmitted through a high quality cavity become entangled with embedded materials, allowing photon coincidence measurements to be used as a probe of magnetic properties of strongly interacting many-body systems.

In his free time, Ben loves badminton, board games, and puzzlehunts.
