Biography

Sulaiman Somani is an Affiliate at Stanford University, specializing in Cardiovascular Medicine. Born in India, he moved to rural Georgia at an early age. He earned his B.S. in Chemical Biomolecular Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, graduating summa cum laude. He enrolled in medical school at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he took a two-year leave to co-found and lead product development at Monogram Orthopedics, a startup focused on improving outcomes in hip and knee replacements by generating 3D-printed, patient-specific implants from CT scans. This work culminated in the filing of nine patents and receiving FDA clearance. After returning to medical school, he developed a keen interest in Internal Medicine and Cardiology, with a focus on using computer vision to improve disease diagnostics from electrocardiograms. He matched into the Stanford residency program in 2021 and has received several awards for his performance, including the Wolfsohn Award and peer-nominated honors for clinical teaching and professionalism. Sulaiman continues to publish AI-related research and has developed algorithms to analyze public health behaviors regarding key cardiovascular issues. He is currently a Chief Resident and is enrolled in a Cardiovascular Disease fellowship at Stanford, aiming to pursue a career in Cardiac Electrophysiology with an emphasis on AI and digital health research.
