She works extensively with archival sources in Ottoman Turkish, French, and German, with a particular focus on the Imperial Museum in Istanbul and its networks. Within the LoCi project, her work focuses on questions of provenance and the trajectories of objects, investigating how the circulation of antiquities intersected with imperial knowledge production and museum practices.
