Over the last 15 years, I have dedicated myself to contributing to academic literature by publishing over 40 articles and research papers in both national and international publications and conferences. My work encompasses a diverse range of topics, including vernacular architecture, archi-tourism studies, and urban issues. I have had the opportunity to work independently as well as collaboratively with students, academics, and professionals on many of these research papers. My professional experiences have played a significant role in inspiring the ideas for my research papers, which have focused on addressing various issues in both natural and man-made environments.
