- Bio (via ORCID)
- I am a junior postdoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) at Ghent University (2023–2026). I received my Ph.D. in History of Art & Archaeology from New York University with a dissertation titled “Places of Piety, Sites of Sovereignty: Temple and Mosque in Medieval Malwa, ca. 1050-1450,” which presents the first systematic analysis of the architectural landscape of Udaypur, an important medieval town in Madhya Pradesh. My research engages with Indic and Islamic epigraphy, fortification and urbanism, material cultures of pilgrimage, and constructions of difference in premodern times. I have published articles on a range of subjects, including monumental Hindu sculpture, purpose-built performance spaces, Sanskrit and old Hindi inscriptions, and Islamic talismanic shirts.
