Maxwell Rosen

I'm Maxwell Rosen, a Chemical Engineering student at UC San Diego (Class of 2028) with a minor in Business Economics. I'm drawn to the intersection of engineering, biology, and technology — places where disciplined quantitative thinking meets real-world complexity.

Currently I work as a Lab Intern in the Ecker Lab at the Salk Institute, where I design and deploy Raspberry Pi–based high-throughput imaging systems to monitor plant growth across 200+ samples under variable environmental stress. It's hands-on engineering work with direct scientific impact — exactly the kind of problem I love sinking my teeth into.

Outside the lab, I stay grounded through running, hiking, great food, and a steady diet of science fiction. I'm always looking for the next interesting problem to solve — feel free to reach out.
