From Research to Conversations
Research has its greatest impact when it moves beyond small circles and reaches a wider audience. I believe in the power of discussions to inspire new ideas, provoke thoughtful conversations, and foster meaningful change. By sharing my work through media and public forums, I hope to encourage others to think critically and explore new research avenues that contribute to a better future.
