I received my PhD in the history of Islamic civilization from the University of Leeds, UK, in 2011. I am currently working as an assistant professor of Islamic history at Qatar University. Before joining Qatar, I was elected to Imam Tirmizi Visiting Research Fellowship at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, a recognized independent centre of the University of Oxford. I joined Oxford as a visiting research fellow during Trinity Term 2016. Before that, I joined the Centre of Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge as a visiting scholar. My main interest is to explore the array of prompts and modalities that shaped the various aspects of Islamic civilization, with most of my studies centring on the pre-modern period.
