I received my master’s degree in history at the University of Texas at Austin and doctoral degree in Turkish Studies at the University of Freiburg. I completed my doctoral study in 2013 on the modern history of the Middle East focusing on the political activities of Kurdish rulers on the Ottoman-Iranian frontier. I studied Persian at the University of Tehran and Arabic at the University of Damascus. I was a visiting scholar and lecturer at Boğaziçi, Bilkent, and Basel Universities and post-doctoral researcher at the Center for Great Islamic Encyclopedia in Tehran and Center d'Etudes Turques, Ottomanes, Balkaniques et Centrasiatiques at EHESS in Paris. I published several articles on the Kurdish, Ottoman, Iranian and Iraqi history in Middle Eastern Studies, Oxford Bibliographies Online, Kurdish Studies, Insight Turkey, Journal of World History, Ab Imperio, Journal of Mesopotamian Studies, Anatoli, Derwaze, Kürt Tarihi, Muhafazakar Düşünce, Kebikeç, and Iraniyat.
