ABOUT
I am an historian of early modern Ottoman Empire and Habsburg Monarchy. My broad research interests lie at the intersection of political, diplomatic, and administrative history in early modern Europe and the Ottoman Empire. I am especially interested in how historical and geopolitical peculiarities of the early modern Habsburg Monarchy, Ottoman Empire, and Russian Tsardom were incarnated in their governmental hierarchies, decision-making mechanisms, and diplomatic initiatives. In this vein, my current research focuses on a comparative structural analysis of the imperial courts in Vienna and Istanbul based on a wide array of Habsburg and Ottoman archival documents.
