Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare, and consumer behavior. I am particularly interested in exploring how AI-driven technologies are transforming healthcare experiences, decision-making, service delivery, and consumer engagement. My research also examines consumer attitudes, perceptions, adoption, and behavioral responses toward emerging technologies and AI-enabled services. Through interdisciplinary research, I aim to generate insights that contribute to both academic knowledge and the development of more effective, consumer-centric, and technology-driven solutions in healthcare and beyond.
