Introduction

I have ten years of teaching experience, complemented by two years in the industry. My industry background spans production and planning roles. Throughout my teaching career, I have imparted knowledge in various subjects, including production processes, material science, finite element analysis, engineering mechanics, and CAD modeling. My primary research interests lie in the field of Biomechanics and Finite Element Analysis, where I utilized musculoskeletal modeling and finite element analysis to investigate various knee-related issues. Additionally, I actively participate in projects centered on rehabilitation and Gait analysis, fostering collaborations with esteemed medical professionals. Furthermore, I am actively engaged in various collaborative projects at biomechanics labs, working alongside national and international experts. These diverse projects collectively aim to advance patient care and enhance our understanding of biomechanics within the field of musculoskeletal health.
