Biography

Hi! My name is Sudi, and I am a ‘26 from Lexington, Massachusetts! I am a biology major concentrating in human biology and a computer science minor (and am toying with the idea of a chemistry minor as well).

I’m currently conducting research in the Halter Lab at Thayer, where I’m involved in a project studying the efficacy of a cutting-edge navigation tool designed to enhance surgical precision. I even had the chance to suture pig tissue! Prior to this, I also spent one and a half years in the Wang Lab at Geisel, working on data analysis and visualization of single-cell RNA datasets; I even dove into research full-time during my freshman summer. I’ve had the opportunity to shadow a wide range of departments, with a focus on orthopedic and head and neck surgeries, at the DHMC through the Nathan Smith Society, which has been incredibly rewarding. This year, I’ll also be contributing as a volunteer in the emergency department.

Outside of academics, I’m passionate about sailing and am thrilled to serve as Vice Commodore of the sailing team after walking on my freshman year. When I’m not on the water, I love lifting with my gym buddies, enjoying movie nights with friends, 3D printing random little things, taking 0.5s, and soaking up the sun! I am looking forward to another adventurous year! Feel free to reach out — can’t wait to meet you all!
