My research interests focus on thyroid disorders and surgery, particularly advancements in minimally invasive techniques and optimizing outcomes for patients with thyroid and parathyroid conditions. I am actively engaged in exploring novel approaches to thyroid cancer management, including collaborative studies within multi-disciplinary teams.

My research interest also lies in exploring innovative approaches to understanding, diagnosing, and treating head and neck cancers.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I have a strong personal interest in sports and fitness, which play a vital role in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Additionally, I engage in gym exercises to build strength and endurance. Outside of sports, I have a deep affection for dogs and find great joy in spending time with them, appreciating their companionship and unconditional loyalty. These hobbies provide me with a sense of relaxation and renewal, complementing my professional endeavors.
