Current Research Projects

He has worked on the intersection of court politics, literature, and religion with a emphasis on chancellery practices and the Persian belletristic tradition. He is currently researching princely succession practices in the early modern Islamicate lands, as well as examining the iconography of Old Testament prophets in medieval and early modern Persianate literary and religious culture.听
