I’m Max. I am interested in how sport changes what we feel ready to attempt—and how that courage travels between women.我是 Max。我关心运动怎样改变我们愿意尝试的事情，以及这份勇气怎样在女性之间传递。

Confidence began on the mat.自信，从垫子上开始。
Before arriving at Dartmouth, I competed in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in China, earning silver in the 62 kg white-belt division. Training and competing alongside other women helped me build a confidence I carried with me to the United States.来到 Dartmouth 之前，我在国内参加巴西柔术比赛，获得白带 62 kg 级别亚军。与其他女性一起训练、比赛，让我逐渐建立自信，并带着这份自信来到美国。

Connection through movement.通过身体，建立连接。
As an international student, I sometimes struggle to express myself fully in English. Through movement, shared effort, and trust built in training, I have found another way to participate and get to know people.作为国际生，我有时很难用英语完整表达自己。身体的动作、共同的努力，以及训练中建立的信任，给了我另一种参与其中、认识他人的方式。
RESEARCH & EVERYDAY LIFE科研与日常生活
Learning to say “I’ll try.”学会说：“那我试试呗”。
That willingness to try reached into my academic life, giving me the courage to contact professors and pursue research opportunities. Sport has become an anchor in my life and a language I share with others.这份愿意尝试的态度也进入了我的学术生活，让我敢于联系教授、争取科研机会。运动成为生活的支点，也成为我与他人共享的语言。
I am Wanning (Max) He, a computer science master’s student at Dartmouth on a full-tuition scholarship. I work in generative AI and computer vision, exploring how machines create images and represent human movement. I lead research projects and have secured support through OpenAI’s Researcher Access Program and the NSF-supported ACCESS program.
Alongside my research, I create visual stories about women in sport. Drawing on my experience as a jiu-jitsu practitioner and international student, I explore how physical confidence and human connection can change what we feel ready to attempt—in sport, in research, and in everyday life. Through this work, I hope to encourage other women to begin their own experiments with strength and possibility.
我是 Wanning（Max）He，Dartmouth 计算机科学硕士生，获得全额学费奖学金。我从事生成式 AI 与计算机视觉研究，探索机器如何创作图像、表示人体运动。我主导研究项目，并争取到了 OpenAI Researcher Access Program 的 API 额度与 NSF 支持的 ACCESS 项目的算力资源。
科研之外，我通过影像讲述运动中的女性。作为柔术练习者与国际生，我关注身体上的自信和人与人的连接，怎样改变我们在运动、科研与日常生活中愿意尝试的事情。我希望通过这些故事，鼓励更多女性亲自探索自己的力量与可能。

A QUESTION THAT STAYS WITH ME一个始终留在心里的问题
FROM THE YAN XIAONAN ESSAY
WHAT IF WE CHEERED FOR THE ATHLETES WHO FINISH SECOND, TENTH, OR HUNDREDTH?能不能也为第 2 名、第 10 名、第 100 名欢呼？
That question shapes the stories I want to tell: the effort, choices and persistence that make a sporting life.这个问题影响着我想讲述的故事：构成一段运动人生的努力、选择与坚持。

IN DEVELOPMENT项目筹备中AT THESAMETABLE.同一张
餐桌。
The encouragement we find in an ordinary day.在普通的一天里，遇见让自己愿意尝试的人。
At Dartmouth, I notice athletes gathering over meals. Seeing them together makes sport part of everyday campus life, and their presence can encourage people who do not think of themselves as athletic. I want to bring women’s stories into that same shared space.在 Dartmouth，我常看到运动员一起聚餐。她们让运动成为校园日常的一部分，也能给不觉得自己擅长运动的人带来鼓励。我希望把女性的运动故事带进这个共同的空间。
At the Same Table is a proposed photography exhibition featuring women in Dartmouth sports, including rugby, and women I know through New York boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and MMA gyms. Portraits and personal accounts would follow training, time together, and moments of rest, and be shown in a Dartmouth dining hall alongside photo essays and short videos for Instagram.《同一张餐桌》拟记录 Dartmouth 女子橄榄球等运动中的女性，以及我在纽约拳击、巴西柔术和 MMA 馆认识的女性。通过人物摄影与个人讲述，记录她们的训练、相处与休息，计划在 Dartmouth 食堂展出，并延伸为 Instagram 图文和短视频。
