About
I am interested in the social and intellectual history of the Islamic Near East -- science, education, and institutions of learning in the Middle East in Medieval times. My previous work includes a study of Umar Khayyam's mathematical career, the Anwā' tradition as the Arabic science of the stars, al-Kindi's works in Meteorology, and a linguistic and historical study of the interaction between Arabic and Persian. Currently, I am working on a project in the social history of science in Iran under the Ismailis and the Ilkhanids and the career of Nasir al-Din Tusi. My other interests include the Alexander legend between Eastern cultures, Late Medieval and Early Modern Persian Historiography, and Arabic and Persian gnomologia.
Before coming to Yale I was a mathematician (PhD 2005. Princeton University). I wrote a dissertation in Harmonic Analysis, "On singular kernels adapted to a curved flag of Euclidean subspaces" under Elias Stein. After Princeton, I worked as a researcher in mathematics, in Singular Integral Operators (University of British Columbia, Canada) and Analysis of Fractal Sets (University of Helsinki, Finland)
