Hello, my name is Dr Benjamin Gorman.

In 2012, I graduated with a First Class (Honours) B.Sc. in Applied Computing from the University of Dundee.

After taking a short break to travel around Australia, I returned to Dundee in 2014 to pursue my PhD in Computer Science (HCI) under the guidance of Dr. David Flatla. My research during this time was focused on assisting individuals with hearing loss, specifically in the realm of speechreading (commonly known as lipreading). I successfully defended my thesis in December 2017 and continued to teach as a Sessional Lecturer at Dundee until the summer of 2018.

Since November 2018, I've been working at Bournemouth University, located on the South-Coast of England, where I am now a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science. My ongoing research at Bournemouth revolves around Accessibility within HCI.

If you're open to discussions about potential collaborations or projects, I'd be delighted to have a chat.
