Research
Committed to evidence-based medicine and continuous learning.
Academic practice is an important part of my approach to medicine — alongside clinical work, I remain actively involved in research, scientific presentations, academic conferences and continuing medical education.
Overview
My academic work has included peer-reviewed publications, original research in male reproductive medicine, scientific presentations at national and international meetings, and recognition through competitive fellowships and academic awards — with particular interests in andrology, male infertility, sexual medicine, microsurgery and functional urology.
International training experiences in the United States have further broadened my exposure to contemporary approaches in andrology, sexual medicine, female & functional urology and advanced endourology.
