Research Overview & Focus

The researcher's work spans multiple domains focusing on human dimensions and their applications across various scientific fields. Their research primarily investigates anthropometry and its implications in ethnoanthropology, forensic anthropology, sexual determination, ergonomics, periodontal regurbation, and hemispheric asymmetry. The researcher applies hand dimensions as a tool to explore ethnic differentiation, sex determination through ratios like 2D:4D, and to predict ethnicities in diverse populations, including forest and savanna zones. Their work also integrates forensic methods with anthropological studies on face and skeletal structures and examines how hand size influences cultural contexts such as ergonomics and periodontal health. Additionally, the researcher explores the biological response patterns of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and hormone therapy, providing a comprehensive understanding of human dimensions in both biological and social sciences.
