His primary research focuses on the History of Islamic Arts within Ottoman institutional frameworks, particularly judicial and educational systems. Work explores kazasker/kadı appointments across centuries, Ilmiye class bureaucracy, paleography, and Enderun school structures. Publications reflect deep engagement with Ottoman administrative history and Islamic education evolution, utilizing historical registers for empirical analysis.
Article trends (2018-2023) reveal concentrated scholarship on Ottoman judicial appointments (17th-19th centuries), career systems within religious-judicial institutions, and educational structures. The bulk of journal articles appeared in Turkish academic journals like Turkish Academic Research and İslâmî İlimler Dergisi, emphasizing primary source analysis of defterleri (registers) and institutional dynamics rather than theoretical frameworks.
