Maxwell is a senior Choose Ohio First (COF) Engineering and Science Innovators (ESI-Engineering) scholar majoring Mechanical Engineering at The Ohio State University with interests in control systems, automation, robotics, and machine learning. After graduating in Spring 2022, Maxwell plans to work with RoviSys Automation and Information Solutions on their Facebook project, and hopefully transfer to their international projects in the future.

Additionally, Maxwell has previous research experience with RoviSys Automation and Information Solutions in Atlanta, Georgia. However, RovSys headquarters are in Aurora, Ohio. Primarily his work focused on the construction site, examining devices all over the building. Most of the work was hands-on: opening devices and checking their wiring and installation to make sure they were receiving power, operating efficiently, and sending information correctly. The devices he worked with were temperature and humidity sensors, actuators, fans, and a variety of other Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. 

Maxwell will present his research work and capstone experience at the Co-op, Internship, and Research (CIR) Chat Session at The Ohio State University on Friday, April 8, 2022 at 1:00 PM. He is going to speak about his research project entitled Constructing Facebook’s Massive Georgia Datacenter Campus with RoviSys Building Technologies. In addition, he has mentioned that COF has been enjoyable during his time at The Ohio State University because he has been able to get involved in the community and contribute to fostering students' interest in STEM fields. Moreover, Maxwell has worked with students of different ages and encourage them to pursue STEM and showing them all the possibilities that these fields can provide. Finally, he says: "[COF experiences and collaboration with other students] made me think about how much I would’ve wanted that when I was in school".
