My name is Maxx Yung, and I’m studying Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m also minoring in Engineering Entrepreneurship, Mathematics, and Nanotechnology.
(Update as of 2025-02-11: I’m dropping out instead.)
I also happen to love note-taking (hence this website). I read, write, and publish a broad range of interests.
My current focus is split between:
- University work
- Pain and opioid research at Corder Labs
- Nanofabrication and semiconductor research at Singh Nanotech Center
- Writing for Contrary Research
- Building Nanoneuro Systems.
- Assisting on the Black Spatula Project
Here’s my bucket list:
- Get better at electronic hardware. PCBs, Arduinos, FPGAs, etc. 2027
- Build a rocket. 2027
- Publish and print a magazine. 2029
- Take a gap year. 2024
- Build a drone. 2025
- Build ionic-propulsion engines. 2025
- Write a sci-fi novel. 2030
Principles I am improving on:
- Better sleep and exercise.
- Saying no more.
- Confronting challenges.
- Focus.
