Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Ben. I’m an independent research engineer contracting with METR, focused on model evaluations for METR’s time horizon benchmark. I’ve previously worked as a Project Manager at the UK AI Security Institute, led the Existential Security team at Rethink Priorities, and worked on nanotechnology strategy research (resources database here).

I’ve been a Senior Research Scholar at the Future of Humanity Institute and spent 5 years working in finance as a quantitative analyst. Before then, I completed a PhD in DNA nanotechnology at Oxford University. I’ve signed the Giving What We Can pledge.
