Neuroanatomy Research Group — Member

• Active member of a multidisciplinary neuroanatomy research group focused on high-fidelity anatomical education, skull base anatomy, and clinically applied neuroanatomy for neurosurgery and related specialties.
• Contributed to the development of structured neuroanatomy educational content, including step-wise anatomical dissections, landmark-based teaching modules, and operative-oriented anatomical illustrations tailored for neurosurgical trainees and fellows.
• Participated in the design and execution of hands-on cadaveric dissection workshops (including pterional, retrosigmoid, endoscopic endonasal, and skull base approaches), supporting curriculum development, anatomical accuracy, and teaching delivery.
• Involved in ongoing neuroanatomy illustration and atlas projects, aiming to bridge classical anatomy with modern surgical corridors and endoscopic perspectives.
• Contributed to research output and academic dissemination, including anatomical studies, educational manuscripts, and conference presentations related to skull base and surgical neuroanatomy.
• Supported the group’s mission of standardizing neuroanatomy education through reproducible teaching frameworks, visual tools, and collaborative academic initiatives.
