About


What a gift it is, to be this alive.

My name is Dr. Abhishek Desai. You can call me Abhi. /ʌˈbʰe/

I am a PGY-4 general surgery resident at Rutgers RWJ pursuing sub-specialty training in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

I was previously the Clinical Research Fellow at Penn Plastic Surgery. My research is broadly focused on solving clinical problems with modern computing.

You can download my CV, or read some blog posts.

Lately I’ve been reading books about:

  • behavioral psychology
  • Dharmic philosophy
  • astronomy
  • leadership
  • linguistics

I listen to a lot of music and am an amateur DJ. I’m a black belt in Tae Kwon Do but haven’t fought competitively in several years. I like to beatbox, ride my bike, climb rocks, and play basketball.

Always available for a good idea.
