Introduction

Ben is an EPSRC-funded PhD Researcher in HCI and Digital Health, starting in December 2020 and is a member of Bristol Interaction Group. His PhD will study how technologies can support men’s mental health. Ben has an academic background in psychology, completing an MSc in Psychological Research Methods at the University of Exeter. In the years before starting his PhD, Ben has been working in the charity sector to design and implement community and digital services to support better health outcomes across a range of conditions. Outside of the PhD and Bristol Interaction Group Ben enjoys hiking (usually with his dog), cooking, film and producing a podcast.

The Bristol Interaction Group is a creative interdisciplinary team with a mission to improve peoples’ lives through the design of better technologies. We study interactions between humans and technology, design novel interfaces and devices, critically examine social and environmental impact, and deploy and evaluate new interaction paradigms in everyday life settings. We follow responsible innovation principles and seek to promote creativity and opportunities for science and innovation that are socially desirable and undertaken in the public interest. Our biggest strength is our diversity: we are computer scientists, psychologists, social scientists, human factors engineers, material engineers and artists, and we draw from and create innovative synergies across a wide range of disciplines.
