Ben is a sixth year doctoral student in clinical psychology at University of Oregon. His current research interests focus on 1) how relational experiences interact with physiological pathways to influence the onset and maintenance of psychopathology and subsequent physical health outcomes (i.e., inflammation and biological aging) and 2) quantifying digital phenotypes through the use of mobile and wearable technologies in order to measure affective behavior in real-time, continuously, and unobtrusively.
