Background

About Max Liechty

With a diverse background in engineering, design, and entrepreneurship I've set myself up to work in a variety of fields, reflected in the fact that I'm currently juggling (well, I might add) three exciting jobs that utilize all the tools in my belt-Lab Engineer at University of Pennsylvania- As a Lab Engineer at the University of Pennsylvania Detkin Lab, I have had the privilege of working at the forefront of innovation. My role has been critical in introduction of several groundbreaking lab courses in Electrical Engineering as well as the upkeep of an even greater number of fundamental-yet-cutting-edge lab courses. This experience continues to sharpen my technical skills and also instills in me a passion for fostering creativity in the next generation of engineers-Lecturer in ESE and IPD at University of Pennsylvania- Expanding my duties seamlessly from the lab to the lecture hall, I have taken on the role of Lecturer in Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE 2920) and Integrated Product Design (IPD at the University of Pennsylvania. In this capacity, I aim to inspire students to think critically and apply their knowledge to real-world challenges. It's incredibly rewarding to see my students evolve into capable professionals-Co-founder at InvenTABLE- Beyond academia, I co-founded InvenTABLE, a venture born out of a desire to make learning engaging and safe for young minds. InvenTABLE introduces a revolutionary kid-safe power tool designed for cutting cardboard, fostering creativity in children while ensuring safe exploration. Being a key-player in developing this unique and useful tool has been one of the biggest growth experiences of my life.
