Hello! I’m Surya Sanjay—welcome to my personal website.

Who are you?

I’m a second-year master’s student at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) studying bioinformatics, with the intent of pursuing a medical degree. I aim to specialize in academic cardiovascular surgery, and my research uses digital twins to elicit insights on surgery. I also run a virtual research group (DravLing) aimed at uncovering the linguistic history of South Asia. I love to hike and run, try new cuisines and cafés, and collect alt rock, country, and Carnatic vinyl records. More here.

What’s your track record?

As I’m early in my career, my interests are fairly broad. See below for a short list of projects I’m especially proud of. This is, of course, non-exhaustive. You can find a list of my publications at my Google Scholar, and an abbreviated list of my work experiences and education at my LinkedIn. If you’d like a copy of my cv, please email me.

Cardiac Surgery Summer Immersion Experience
An (ongoing) program for undergraduate students to shadow surgeries in the cardiac operating room at the University of Michigan. More here.

OptiHemia
An (ongoing) startup aimed at creating software to assist planning in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

Modeling Hemodynamics in Aortic Annular Enlargement
A (completed) project characterizing blood flow in aortic annular enlargement and TAV-in-SAV. More here.

An (ongoing) macro-project with the goal of understanding the origin of verb structure in the languages of southern India. More here.

What’s on this website?

Anything that I feel necessary to disseminate without the means of publication. This includes things shorter than a journal article, opinion pieces, and projects which I feel should be open source. Feel free to browse to find more—most entries will be related to the interests I describe on this page.

2025 August 17. After three years of re-designs between modern- and classically-inspired themes, I’ve finally settled on a fusion that I truly like. However, I’m still working out the fine details, so, for now, this website has limited functionality. Please check back again soon.
