My main interests are in the material cultures of Pre-Islamic Iran and Central Asia, Zoroastrianism, and Mughal India.
In recent years I have worked extensively on the Iranian manuscripts in the Stein and Hoernle Central Asian collections in the British Library. Currently I am in charge of a project to provide Digital Access to our collection of over 12,000 Persian manuscripts. I have curated a number of exhibitions, most recently Alexander the Great: Making of a Myth, British Library 2022-2023, Mughal India: Art, Culture and Empire, British Library, 2012-2013, The Everlasting Flame: Zoroastrianism in History and Imagination, Brunei Gallery SOAS, 2013 and an expanded Everlasting Flame exhibited in collaboration with SOAS and the National Museum, New Delhi, 2016.
