Research Narrative

I am an expert in the field of orofacial pain, with a particular focus on temporomandibular disorders (TMD), chronic pain, and headache. My primary research also centers on AI-based disease diagnosis and prognosis prediction. I earned my Master’s degree in dentistry with a thesis on oral cancer and my Ph.D. with research on saliva and salivary biomarkers, both of which remain active areas of investigation in my current work.
