My academic interests primarily lie in the interplay between religion, ethnicity, and socio-political structures, particularly in the context of state-building, religious plurality, and processes of marginalization and exclusion. My research so far has focused especially on Afghanistan, examining how ethnic and religious identities are shaped by historical power relations, political developments, and colonial legacies, with particular attention to the marginalization of the Hazara.
As a Student Assistant in the Biblia Arabica project, I contribute to the communication and dissemination of academic research through science communication, social media management, and website development and maintenance. My work supports the visibility of Arabic biblical manuscript traditions and their significance for the shared cultural and religious heritage of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities.
