I specialize in the history of 16-17th century Iran, with a particular emphasis on historiography, or the tradition of chronicle writing during the Safavid dynasty. I am currently completing a biography of Shah Abbas, and also beginning research on a comparative study of traditions of Persian historical writing in Mughal India and Safavid Iran in the early modern period.
