Dr. Maximilian Chmielinski completed his PhD at the University of Washington researching ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure in agricultural workers under the supervision of Dr. Christopher Simpson. His academic work contained three components: dosimetric monitoring of solar and lamp sourced UV, designing a control system to operate a bench top spectroradiometer as a dosimetric device, and using an open source architectural light simulation engine to predict ambient radiation conditions created by indoor vegetation supplemental lighting.

Max has several years of industrial hygiene work experience operating as a project manager, research designer, and project communication specialist.

Max currently serves on the Board of Directors for AIHA Potomac and The Explorers Club WG.

Prior to his role at HP Environmental, he served as Commodore of the Washington Yacht Club. This six-hundred-member 501c non-profit organization owns and operates a fleet of forty brown and blue-water sailboats off the shores of the University of Washington Campus. His two-term Commodoreship saw him steer the club through the turbulent waters caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, from which has now emerged with a larger membership and more institutional stability then in the decades past.
