My interests lie in early Islamic monetary history: coinage and history of pre-Mongol Central Asia: figural representation in Islamic material culture: numismatic titulature: Arab geographers and travellers in the 9th-10th centuries: silver coinage flow from the Islamic world to the northern lands in the Viking Age. I have taught at the Khalili Research Centre since it was opened in 2005 in the master’s degrees in Islamic Art and Archaeology and supervised doctoral dissertations on Islamic textiles and ceramics and the earliest Islamic coinage of North Africa.
