About Ben Rudzyn
Ben Rudzyn was the 2006 University Medallist for Computer Engineering. He was an outstanding student who arrived at UNSW in 2001 from North Sydney Boys High, completed a Bachelor of Computer Engineering and Masters in Biomedical Engineering over the next five years and earned a series of scholarships and awards. He also participated in International Exchange at the University of Toronto, Canada. Among his academic coups Ben developed a groundbreaking robot audition system for his undergraduate thesis.
Ben epitomised the true meaning of friendship. He highly valued the sense of community spirit at UNSW, volunteering however and whenever he could and also wholeheartedly participating in whatever social opportunities were on offer (such as Yellow Shirts/O Week, Uni Reviews, Clubs, Open Days, Student Representative, and mentoring.) He is remembered for his quick wit, his sense of humor, his honesty, his compassion and his care of others.
After graduation, his software development talents excelled in his career as a Research and Development Engineer at Australian Hearing’s National Acoustic Laboratory.
Everything Ben was working towards ended a few days before Christmas 2008 when his life was tragically taken by the actions of an inebriated, unlicensed, unregistered driver. Ben was 26 years old.
