About
I was born in the year 1984 in the Dutch city Utrecht. In 2004, while attending the University of Utrecht (Hogeschool van Utrecht), I finished the Teacher college: History and State Apparatus propaedeutics 'with great honor'. In 2008 I graduated from Utrecht University (Universiteit Utrecht) with a bachelor History 'with honor' and a minor Turkology 'with highest honor'. My bachelor thesis was about the Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire from 1425 until 1550. In 2009 I received my master's degree in International Relations with the international 'upper class'-grade average at Utrecht University. My master thesis dealt with the emerging international relations between the Netherlands and Turkey from 1612 onwards, thus making my specialization Turkish History. I am currently earning my Ph.D. in the field of the Balkans (1908-1923), more specifically the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913.
Along with my position as a Ph.D.-fellow; I am also chairman of, and senior researcher at, Institute for Turkish Studies.
