ABOUT
I am research associate at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Leipzig University. I received my PhD in Islamic Studies from Freie Universität Berlin in 2018 after studying History and Islamic Studies in Germany (Bochum, Münster, and Berlin) and the Middle East (Jerusalem, Cairo, Tehran, and Istanbul). In my PhD thesis, I analyse the historiography in Iran of early Safavid times (16th century), and provide the analysis of a major historiographical work of that period, Khvāndamīr’s Ḥabīb al-siyar. A number of research fellowships led me to Saint Petersburg, Madrid, and Jerusalem. Currently, I am working on a project on translations from Arabic and Persian into Ottoman Turkish.
