He became interested in Turkey and the Ottoman Empire while studying at the University of Basel where he met refugees from the 1980 Turkish military coup.[1] This interest led to a PhD thesis which later was released by the Turkish publisher İletişim.[1][2]
He has been a lecturer or invited professor at Stanford University (2010); University of Michigan (2008); and other universities including the Bamberg University, and invited scholar at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris, France and the Bilgi University in Turkey.[2] He received fellowships [which?] from academic institutions[which?] in Basel, Zurich and Freiburg (FRIAS), and from the Swiss National Science Foundation.[2]
