Max Hazlin

Max Hazlin is from New Canaan, CT, and Basel, Switzerland and discovered his passion for design engineering during his capstone design course.  Max and his team have spent the past academic year under the guidance of Dr. Michael Gross and Dr. Sammi Yazdani (Wake Forest Engineering) designing and prototyping a simplified exercise apparatus for deconditioned patients who are confined to bedrest in early stages of recovery.  This device will allow patients to reduce muscle loss and lower rehabilitation times to improve long-term patient outcomes.  Max has also conducted research under Professor Lauren Lowman (Wake Forest Engineering) quantifying vegetation response to fires in the southeast United States.  In addition to his undergraduate research, Max has interned at Jacobs Engineering Group in Berlin, Germany working with leading EV manufacturers and translating engineering drawings from English to German.

Max has been an active participant of the Wake Forest University student body, acting as an executive in the Kappa Sigma Fraternity as well as an executive in the German Honor Society, Delta Pi Alpha.  His favorite memory in Wake Forest Engineering was the camaraderie that developed between himself and his peers.

Max has accepted an offer to work as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Groninger USA in Charlotte North Carolina and plans to begin working after graduation.
