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, FDA 510(k) clearance, and the company having IPO’d in 2023 and acquired by Zimmer Biomet in July 2025.

Upon his return to medical school, he fell in love with Internal Medicine and married his experience in computer vision with new interest in 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 was then chosen as one of the four Chief Residents for the Stanford Medicine Internal Medicine residency program before starting his Cardiovascular Disease fellowship at Stanford, which he is currently enrolled in. He hopes to pursue a career in Cardiac Electrophysiology, with a research focus on AI, medical device, and digital health research.
