About Me

As a recipient of the Hertha-Firnberg-Fellowship of the Austrian Research Council (FWF) at the University of Vienna, Ausria, I am currently conducting a research project on the Syriac Orthodox Community in Lebanon (1918-1982).

I have held postdoctoral positions at the Department of Near Eastern Studies, Princeton University, the Institute of Eastern Studies/Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands, and the Catholic University Lyon, France.

I completed a doctorate in Arabic Studies and a MA in Islamic Studies at the University of Vienna. I graduated in History at Paris-Sorbonne University and in Iranian Studies at the Inalco in Paris.
