I am an otolaryngologist actively engaged in both clinical practice and academic research in the field of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) diseases. My work spans multiple areas of otolaryngology, with a particular focus on laryngology and voice disorders.

My academic interests center on the evaluation and management of laryngeal pathologies and voice disorders across different age groups. I am especially interested in integrating evidence-based approaches into daily clinical practice. In addition, I have contributed to research on laryngeal imaging, voice assessment methodologies, and the clinical application of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, in ENT.

I regularly participate in national and international scientific meetings, contributing to academic exchange and fostering collaborative advancements within the otolaryngology community.
