Born in India, Sulaiman moved to the US at an early age and grew up in rural Georgia. He earned his B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, graduating summa cum laude. He then enrolled in medical school at Mount Sinai, during which time he took a two-year leave to co-found and lead product development for Monogram Orthopedics, a startup that focuses on improving outcomes following hip and knee replacements by generating 3D-printed, patient-specific implants from CT scans, work which has resulted in 9 patents being filed and the company having IPO’d in 2023. Upon his return to medical school, he fell in love with medicine and married his love of computer vision with new love of Cardiology by developing algorithms to improve disease diagnostics from electrocardiogram waveforms. He matched at Stanford for residency in 2021, where he continued his passion for Internal Medicine and Cardiology. As a PGY-2, he was a winner of the peer-selected Wolfsohn award for Outstanding Performance in Internal Medicine, the peer-nominated Best Clinical Teaching by a Medicine Resident Award, and the Award for Professionalism As A Member Of The House Staff in successive years. He has continued to publish AI-related research under the mentorship of Fatima Rodriguez, where he developed algorithms to understand public behaviors around key cardiovascular topics using social media data, earning the Young Investigator Award by the American College of Cardiology. He is currently one of the four selected Chief Residents for the Stanford Medicine Internal Medicine residency program and plans to pursue a career in Cardiac Electrophysiology, with a research focus on AI, medical device, and digital health research.
