Ben is a research engineer responsible mainly for moderating this wiki and developing code for the DREAM project (previously called CaDRE). Email him with questions about either of these projects, ultimate frisbee, board games, or national parks.
Ben holds a BS in electrical engineering in 2009 from Seattle Pacific University. He is currently working toward his MS in mechanical engineering at Northwestern University, with a specialization in energy & sustainability and a minor in engineering management. His research involves life cycle analysis of digital services (recent model: http://energy-model.lbl.gov/), though he is also interested in how public policy can bring about changes.
