Doctoral candidate, research and teaching associate at the department of Oriental and Islamic Studies at the University of Tübingen. Interested in (1) the history of science and the different avenues of knowledge production and circulation, with a current focus on medicine in the "post-classical" Islamicate world, and (2) colonialism and urban histories.
My dissertation focuses on the interlinkage of "rational" and "religious" knowledges in the popularisation of healthy bodily practices through the manuscripts of the Kitāb al-Raḥma fī l-ṭibb wa-l-ḥikma.
