Zeshan Hussain

Hey Winthrop!! I'm excited to continue as a resident tutor this year. Originally, I am from Hyderabad, India, and my family moved to Ohio when I was young. I spent some time in California, doing my undergraduate and master's studies in Computer Science at Stanford. Currently, I am an 8th year MD/PhD student at Harvard/MIT, having done my PhD in EECS at MIT, and now entering my last year of medical school. My PhD research focused on problems in machine learning in healthcare, statistics, and causal inference. I would love to chat about any of these topics with you all!

And now for a more random assortment of interests: I'm passionate about spirituality and theology, specifically tasawwuf, tazkiyah, and aqidah (all Islamic forms of theology and/or purification of the heart). I also love reciting Urdu and Arabic poetry as well as nasheed. I enjoy playing all kinds of racket sports, basketball, and soccer. My favorite tennis player is Rafael Nadal (djokovic sucks), and Mohammed Salah is my hero. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
