<p>Furkan Büyükkal holds a PhD in Audiology from Istanbul Medipol University. His doctoral research involved an in vivo animal study focused on developing an optogenetic experimental model for vestibular system research. As an active researcher, he has co-authored multiple SCI/SSCI-indexed articles exploring viral vector applications in hearing, noise-induced hearing loss, microbial contamination in audiological equipment, and professional satisfaction. Regularly presenting his work at national and international scientific congresses, his primary research interests lie in experimental audiology, auditory neuroscience, and hearing aid technologies.</p>
