Research Interests:

• Mechanisms of oocyte and embryo competence in IVF
• Non-invasive diagnostic technologies for fertility
• Ovarian aging and mitochondrial function in reproduction
• Impact of environmental factors on IVF outcomes

Articles Overview: Recent work focuses on IVF optimization (e.g., uterine elastography, PRP effects), embryo viability, and long-term birth outcomes. Studies emphasize mitochondrial biology's role in reproductive senescence and clinical implications of sperm age.
