About Me

I'm Maxwell, a junior at UC Berkeley studying computer science and bioengineering. I'm also in the EECS Honors Program with a concentration in computational neuroscience.

My current academic interests include machine learning, computational neuroscience, and signal processing — broadly speaking, applications of computer science and engineering in health and medicine. I'm very passionate about teaching, mentoring, and research.

In my spare time, I love writing, playing board games, and listening to indie/alt/lofi music.
