Summary

With a strong foundation in biomaterial sciences and a keen interest in digital healthcare, I bring a diverse skill set encompassing aesthetic property characterization of prosthetic materials, clinical photography, medical color matching techniques, and computerized color calibration. My expertise extends to Physical, Microscopic, and Spectroscopic property evaluation in material sciences, as well as designing simulation studies for dental scenarios. I have hands-on experience in 3D laser scanning, photomicrography, and stereophotogrammetry, coupled with proficiency in CAD-CAM assisted prosthetic rehabilitation. My collaborative work spans across Malaysia, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, The UK, and Australia, where I have contributed to multidisciplinary projects published by highly reputed publishers. In academia, I take pride in a robust portfolio of 15 scholarly publications, including presentations at international conferences and the honor of receiving the "Best Poster Presenter Award." Committed to continuous learning, I have actively engaged in workshops and training sessions, covering areas such as data science, peer review processes, research design, basic medical statistics, and occupational safety and health. Additionally, specialized training in Analytics and Scanning Electron Microscopy attests to my commitment to staying at the forefront of advancements in my field.
