Ben McAllister

Ben is an EQUS AI working at Swinburne University of Technology – he has been haunting EQUS since 2015, having completed his PhD with the UWA node in 2019, before moving to Swinburne in 2021. He mostly works on dark matter and quantum sensing, but has recently branched out into the exciting world of driving half an hour down a long tunnel into a functioning gold mine to hide from cosmic rays.
