Athletic Sports and Hobbies
I strongly value work-life balance and believe interdisciplinary exploration — both academic and non-academic — drives innovation.
Athletic Sports
I qualified for China's national training team and won the Beijing U18 Championships. I've been teaching skiing for seasons and am happy to give lessons at any level!
At Dartmouth, I competed on the Competitive Badminton Team and won Bronze Medal at the Division-3 Eastern Collegiate Tournament. I usually play for men singles and mix doubles.
Multiple styles including lure fishing, fly fishing, sea fishing, and traditional Chinese methods. I occasionally arrange fishing trips for my friends at Dartmouth and Cornell Tech. Casting it out and vibe coding while waiting for the fish - super chill!
Recently picked up bouldering and loving the challenge!
Other Sports
I also enjoy: Swimming (previously competed before a skiing-related shoulder injury), Basketball, Billiards/Pool, Table Tennis.
I’m always eager to try new sports — I believe in my adaptability and talent!
Hobbies
Love experimenting with different cuisines! Favorite @ 糖醋排骨
Especially rainbow budgerigars/parakeets! I am an expert in their genetic pairing algorithms and know how to get prettier/more valuable offspring!
Others
I also enjoy: Singing, Rubik’s Cube.
These hobbies have sustained me during tough academic and research endeavors.
If you’d like to take my ski lesson (any level — I’ve been teaching beginners for seasons) or explore any of the interests above, don’t hesitate to reach out at slimshilin2004@gmail.com!
