maxine wu :)

incoming swe intern @ anduril




Hi y'all, I'm Maxine (she/her)! I'm a second year undergrad at UCLA, studying Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. Currently, I work with ELFIN CubeSat, developing flight software and simulation software for the Attitude Determination & Control (ADCS) subsystem for cube satellites. I've also been working on a quarter-long research project with the Visual Machines Group exploring 3D rendering with Gaussian Splatting.

I'm interested in building software that informs physical systems, ie. vision/perception, 3D modeling, embodied AI. I also think algorithms are neat.

On campus, I serve as Co-President of ACM AI, UCLA's largest community of AI-enthusiasts making AI accessible for all. I also sing and arrange for Cadenza A capella. I'm passionate about equitable and accessible education in STEM and music.
