Ben was born in Bedford England in 1987. He came to Warwick University in 2005 and graduated in summer 2009 with a Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering. He returned to Warwick the following Autumn to begin a PhD in association with GE Aviation Systems working on novel Silicon Semiconductor devices.

As an Undergraduate he had a strong involvement with the Electrical Power Systems (EPS) team for the European Student Moon Orbiter (ESMO), a small low cost satellite project organised by the European Space Agency (ESA), working on aspects of the project in both his third and fourth years. He represented the ESMO EPS team on two occasions at the European Space Agency Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands and is still actively involved with the project, attending meetings with Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) as well as providing support to the undergraduate students directly involved with the project.
