Fleet Admiral Sural Desh’rak

A Vulcan male with straight short black hair combed neatly with brown eyes. He wears casual Earth clothing like a suit outside work and his uniform on duty.

New York University Abu Dhabi (2382 - 2386)

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Minor in Natural Sciences
Graduated with distinction (3.6 GPA)

* Specialized in adaptive computational systems and scientific modelling
* Conducted research into multispecies interface accessibility and neural-computer interaction
* Participated in inter-university robotics and logic competitions
* Developed interest in Federation exploratory science and xenobiology during final years of study

Sural was the eldest of 13 children born to T'Salama and Rashid, both Vulcan, living on Earth. As the eldest he was expected to help take care of the younger siblings while the parents worked. Rashid's paternal ancestry includes humans several generations back—which helps explain how Sural navigates Human culture seamlessly while also coping well with Dubai's hot, arid climate.
