My name is Benjamin Chung, and I’m a 2nd year PhD student, advised by Jan Vitek at Northeastern University. This will be my fourth ECOOP, and my third as a student volunteer, which has made me even more excited to attend. ECOOP has been a fantastic experience for me every time I’ve attended - providing some great learning opportunities, exposure to other state of the art research in my field, and helping find other researchers who are interested in the same things I am.

A lot of my research has came out of ECOOP as well. Every time I’ve attended, I learned something that changed the way I wanted to go with projects and gave me ideas for future work, and I’m looking forwards to attending this year.
