Ben Storer
Deputy Dean
I moved to Sydney and UNSW in 2015 to study neuroscience and psychology. Originally as a student I lived in Basser. Between my time as a student and as a staff member, I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of the communities at Basser, Baxter, and now UNSW Hall. During the day, I work at ANSTO and where I’m currently researching the effects of radiation on the brain.
The colleges gave a lot to me as a student, and I love trying to make the experience just as valuable for all of our residents. I’m looking forward to meeting all our new residents and getting involved at UNSW Hall!
