<p>I am an Associate Professor of Otorhinolaryngology at Izmir Dokuz Eylul University, Faculty of Medicine. My main areas of interest are otology, neurotology, and vestibular disorders. I have been involved in both clinical practice and academic research in these fields, and I continue to participate in national and international scientific meetings and publications.</p>

<p>I am a board-certified ENT specialist with a subspecialization in neurotology and ongoing training in Positive Psychotherapy (currently in my third year). I currently practice at Nova Explorări ORL Clinic in Cluj-Napoca, where I integrate advanced vestibular diagnostics with a patient-centered and holistic clinical approach. My primary areas of focus include vertigo, imbalance, tinnitus, and hearing disorders, particularly within the context of somato-psychic interaction.</p> <p>I have approximately 10 years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular patients and have completed numerous advanced training courses in this field. Among the most relevant, I would mention the masterclass led by Prof. Michael Strupp in Munich, the vestibular rehabilitation training with Prof. Mans Magnusson in Copenhagen, the comprehensive hands-on course with Prof. Shrinivas, the VEMP workshop with Prof. Eleftherios Papathanasiou, and the AVISA International Vestibular Diploma program. These trainings have helped me consolidate both my theoretical knowledge and my practical skills in managing peripheral, central, and functional vestibular disorders.</p> <p>I have also served as a lecturer within the AVISA program, delivering a course on vestibular migraine, as well as at the IFOS World Congress in Dubai, where I co-led a workshop on vestibular rehabilitation in chronic bilateral vestibulopathies. In 2024, I presented a clinical poster on Chiari malformation at the Bárány Society Meeting. Additionally, I have given numerous national presentations and actively contribute to the Romanian Society for Vertigo, Tinnitus, and Hearing Loss, of which I am a founding member.</p> <p>Over the past three years, I have increasingly focused on Positive Psychotherapy, aiming to better understand how personality traits and psycho-emotional background influence both the etiology and the perception of vertigo-related symptoms. This integrative perspective is becoming a central part of my approach to complex vestibular patients.</p>
