Getting to know Ben Stoddard

Hey all,

Since you found your way to this page, let me give you a short summary of the site and myself. I'm a first year student at Duke University in the PhD program who is working furiously to get his feet under him so that I can make an impact on both the research community on campus and around the world.

Before I found myself in Durham, North Carolina; I grew up and went to school in the great state of Washington. Before that time though I was born in Boston, where I most recently worked for Google for a summer before joining my new work family in the South.

On the rest of this site you can learn more about me, my work, and how to contact yours truly. Feel free to ask me any questions you have (no matter esoteric or random) through the contact methods available to you.

Hopefully you'll enjoy my work as much as I have, and we'll see what happens to me in the next decade or so.

Thanks!
