Dr. Taseef H. Farook's expertise and interests lie within the sphere of digital healthcare. His specific interests include 1) medical image processing (CT, CBCT etc.), 2) occlusion and temporomandibular joint disorders, 3) computer vision & medical machine learning, 4) laser scanning and intraoral scanning, 5) clinical microphotography and stereophotogrammetry, and 6) CAD-CAM

Dr Farook is an experimental researcher, MedTech entrepreneur, and overseas-qualified dentist with broad experience in digital healthcare and academic research across Australia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the UK. He has led research projects to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and affordable dental technology into clinical diagnostics and was awarded over AUD 400,000+ in funding and scholarships since 2020 for his research in digital dentistry. Dr Farook was the winner of the International Student of the Year 2023 Award and Academic Excellence: Postgraduate Research, awarded by the Government of South Australia and decorated by Her Excellency, Frances Adamson, the Governor of South Australia. Dr Farook was also one of the finalists of the Australian e-Challenge 2022 and winner of the Enabled Solution Award for entrepreneurial excellence as a founder of the Dental Loop initiative (www.dentalloop.au). In 2024, he was awarded the Dean's Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence upon completion of his PhD in Dentistry.

Dr Farook has experience in talent acquisition and managing casual staff, funds management, organising and leading workshops, public speaking, and academic teaching, and has published his work with highly reputed peer-reviewed journals. Dr Farook is also the author of the textbook "A Guide to Effective Communication in Dentistry" first published in January 2025.

Dr. Farook enjoys travelling, playing video games, and writing fictional novels. His most noteworthy works are part of the "Unpopular Opinions" book series, which are available on all major ebook stores, including Amazon, Apple, Google Books, and Kobo.
