Hello! I’m Surya. Welcome to my personal website.

Who are you?

My name is Surya Sanjay.

I’m a medical student at Harvard Medical School pursuing a career as a cardiovascular surgeon-scientist. More here.

What’s your track record?

I completed my B. S. (2025) in biology, health, and society and an accelerated M. S. (2026) in bioinformatics at the University of Michigan.

Since 2019, my chief research interest has been in computational biophysics and bioinformatics. Most recently, from 2022–2026, I worked in Dr. David Nordsletten’s lab at Michigan’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, applying numerical methods to the aorta and the heart chambers to improve surgical decision making.

I have a special interest in cardiovascular medical devices. In 2024, I pitched a startup aimed at identifying the optimal endograft to treat aortic aneurysms, which won $5,000 in funding at the Michigan Surgical Innovation Accelerator. In 2025, I interned at Thubrikar Aortic Valve, where I examined the market and regulatory landscapes of transcatheter aortic valve devices.

Outside of medicine, I’m also interested in South Asian historical linguistics. From 2021–2023, I worked with Dr. David McAlpin to study the evolution of tense morphemes in Dravidian languages. On slow days, I try and find time to continue this work.

You can find my Google Scholar 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.
