My research interests in animal physiology center on understanding how animals maintain internal stability and adapt to changing environmental conditions. I am particularly interested in how physiological systems—such as endocrine regulation, metabolism, and thermoregulation—work together to support survival and performance. I am drawn to studying how animals respond to stress factors like temperature shifts, limited resources, and environmental pressures, and how these responses differ across species.

I am also fascinated by the mechanisms of energy balance, including how animals process nutrients, regulate metabolic rates, and allocate energy for growth, reproduction, and movement. These processes play a key role in understanding animal health and ecological fitness. By examining physiological responses within real ecological contexts, I aim to contribute to a clearer understanding of how animals cope with challenges in both natural and managed environments. Ultimately, my goal is to link physiological mechanisms with broader ecological and evolutionary patterns.

I have several years of teaching experience in undergraduate biological sciences, with responsibilities spanning foundational and advanced courses. From 2019 to 2022 at the College of Basic Education, I taught General Biology to first-year Science students, emphasizing core biological principles, scientific reasoning, and laboratory skills. During the same period, I instructed second-year Pharmacy students in Parasitology, focusing on parasite biology, life cycles, and their clinical significance. Since 2022, I have taught Animal Physiology to fourth-year Science students, integrating theoretical content with laboratory work and research-oriented discussions. Across all courses, my teaching approach centers on clarity, engagement, and scientific rigor, aimed at preparing students for further academic and professional development in the life sciences.

Since 2022, I have been actively involved in supervising 4th-year undergraduate graduation projects in Animal Physiology. My supervision focuses on guiding students through research design, data collection, and scientific analysis related to physiological mechanisms in animals. This role has strengthened my ability to mentor developing researchers and support high-quality academic work within the field.
