Research Focus

My research focuses on medical education through simulation, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance patient safety, refine clinical processes and address system-level challenges. From large-scale disaster simulations to innovations in pediatric care, my work integrates education, research and real-world impact. Through simulation-based approaches, I aim to advance medical education and drive meaningful improvements in patient care.
