About

Biography

I am an associate professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, and I specialize in perioperative outcomes and patient-centered pain management. My research focuses on improving recovery after surgery, optimizing anesthesia care, and advancing strategies that enhance patient safety and experience.

My work examines how perioperative practices influence both short- and long-term outcomes. I am particularly interested in approaches that reduce complications, support effective pain control, and promote faster, safer recovery for patients undergoing surgery. Through my research, I aim to identify evidence-based interventions that improve clinical decision-making and elevate the quality of care delivered across surgical settings.

I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to translate research findings into practical applications that benefit patients and care teams. My goal is to advance anesthesiology practices in ways that are data-driven, patient-centered, and sustainable within real-world clinical environments.
