                                           Applied Projects :

Throughout my career, I have been involved in international applied research aimed at addressing real-world problems, with projects spanning experiential learning, policy analysis, curriculum development, and community-based research. I view these efforts not as my individual research, but as collaborative work with communities to solve persistent issues, using both basic and participatory research methods. My role within these projects varies, sometimes acting as a facilitator, other times as a contributing member, and at times taking on the responsibilities of a coordinator or leader to ensure alignment and progress.
