Research/Professional Interests
Implementation of innovative digital technology and assessing their outcome in improving dental education. I have developed innovative teaching methods such as using digital comparison software in improving student self-assessment. I have a special interest to present novel techniques of teaching dentistry to the modern-day students with help of digital technology and artificial intelligence. My other research interests include dental materials innovation and improvement and dental erosion from various food and drinks.
