Pioneer in developing innovative TAD applications including palatal TADs with exchangeable abutments for transverse expansion, orthopedic protraction, and molar distalization. Research focuses on digital orthodontics, CAD/CAM technologies for customized appliances, biomechanics of skeletal anchorage, and treatment efficiency in adult orthodontics. Expert in combining TADs with aligners for predictable complex tooth movements.

Active Member of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists (Eastern Component). Recipient of First Prize from the German Orthodontic Society (DGKFO, 2007), First Prize from the European Orthodontic Society (EOS, 2009), and First Prize from the German Society for Lingual Orthodontics (2018).
