Recent Accomplishment: First major publication accepted in peer-reviewed journal examining ADHD treatment patterns in youth. Building a research program focused on psychopharmacoepidemiology and real-world medication outcomes.
I am a psychiatry resident at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia & Cornell), completing advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry. My clinical and research interests focus on ADHD, psychopharmacology, and using large-scale data to understand treatment patterns and outcomes.
I've maintained this domain since 1994 when I first became fascinated with the internet as a middle school student in Great Neck, NY. Over 21 years later, that early interest in technology is now informing my approach to psychiatric research and digital mental health.

I registered ryansultan.com in 1994 as a seventh grader learning HTML. The site has evolved over 21 years from a teenage hobby to a professional portfolio, but the core mission remains: using digital tools to share information and connect with others.
