Suma Suswaram, Ph.D.

Pronounced as: sue-ma seuss-wuh-rum 

Dedicated research professional with a PhD in Speech-Language Pathology and a strong mixed-methods foundation. I design and lead research that blends qualitative and quantitative methods, and I translate complex evidence into clear, usable insights for decision-makers and broad audiences. My work now spans research and policy settings and includes building reproducible, data-driven workflows across Python, R, and Julia, along with applied AI/LLM tools for document review, synthesis, and pattern-finding at scale. I bring deep experience with qualitative research, public datasets, and program evaluation, and I stay focused on practical research that bridges rigorous methods with real-world impact.
