Top SchoolMaximilian Du is a Stanford AI Ph.D. researcher and graduate research assistant focused on enabling robots to reason like humans and animals, combining rigorous machine learning research with hands-on systems work. With eight years of experience spanning published lab research, undergraduate teaching, and production storytelling, he brings both technical depth and communication skills to interdisciplinary teams. He built novel computer-vision controllers and applied transfer learning for animal-interaction and health-classification projects during an internship with the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program, a rare blend of robotics, ML, and behavioral science. A former senior producer for Stanford Storytelling and a section leader for CS106, he excels at translating complex research into compelling narratives and practical tools.
