Careers
As a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Physical Therapy, I was responsible for supervising laboratory sessions and providing academic support to students under the guidance of faculty members. As I gained experience, I became actively involved in research activities, including the preparation of scientific manuscripts, participation in academic conferences, and engagement in various departmental academic initiatives.
In parallel, I pursued my postgraduate studies toward a Master's degree to fulfill the academic requirements for promotion to a faculty position in accordance with university regulations. Throughout this period, I remained committed to enhancing my teaching, research, and administrative competencies while actively contributing to the service and development of the department, the college, and the university as a whole.
Research Interests
As a specialist in neurological physical therapy, my research interests focus on the study and advancement of motor and neurological rehabilitation strategies for individuals with neurological disorders and injuries. My work focuses on enhancing balance, gait, motor control, and restoring functional independence and activities of daily living.
My research also focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, evidence-based rehabilitation approaches, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, virtual reality–based rehabilitation, and robotic-assisted rehabilitation technologies. In addition, I am interested in investigating the outcomes of rehabilitation interventions for patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and peripheral nerve injuries. The overarching goal of my research is to enhance patients' quality of life, improve functional outcomes, and contribute to the advancement of evidence-based clinical practice in neurological rehabilitation.
External Activities
As a Teaching Assistant, I attended an international scientific conference in Spain on innovation and development in higher education. I'm grateful for the support of my department and the university. Furthermore, during my study abroad experience, I attended a specialized workshop in neurological physical therapy, which enhanced my academic knowledge and professional skills while broadening my international academic perspective.
