Portrait of Benjamin Cowen

01The path

Built in the lab, tested on markets.

More than a decade of mathematics and nuclear engineering came before the first market video, and the lab work ran alongside the channel's first years. Each chapter ends with what it became.

The lab2008–2021

  1. 2008–2012

    B.S. Mathematics, physics minor

    North Carolina State University

    The grounding in analytical thinking, problem solving and complex systems that everything after it builds on.

  2. 2013–2018

    M.S. and PhD, Nuclear Engineering

    University of New Mexico School of Engineering

    M.S. from 2013 to 2015, then the PhD from 2015 to 2018. The doctoral research ran extensive molecular dynamics simulations, thermal conductivity analysis and radiation damage studies in ceramics, using advanced computational methods.

  3. Jun 2013–Sep 2018

    Research Assistant

    University of New Mexico, Institute for Space and Nuclear Power Studies

    Molecular dynamics simulations, supercomputing on CPU and GPU clusters, thin film deposition of ceramics by magnetron sputtering, and in situ transmission electron microscopy.

  4. Sep 2018–Jan 2021
