• PhD in History (English), İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, Institute of Economics and Social Sciences (2024)

Specializing in Medieval and Renaissance Studies with focus on European History, Şahan's research interrogates frontier dynamics during the Crusades era, medieval governance structures, and philological methodologies. His work bridges textual analysis with spatial politics, examining how power operated beyond physical boundaries in pre-modern Europe.

His publication trajectory reveals concentrated expertise in Crusades historiography (40% of output), medieval frontier studies (30%), and philological crisis theory (20%), with emerging work on Islamic-Crusader military interactions. Recent outputs demonstrate methodological innovation through combining diplomatic analysis with material culture studies.

Şahan maintains active participation in international medieval scholarship through presentations at Leeds International Medieval Congress (2024) and Bilkent History Graduate Symposium (2025), though formal awards or grants are not documented in available records.

While currently without formal advisees according to institutional records, his scholarly network shows collaboration potential through conference engagements. His research infrastructure appears centered around university-affiliated medieval studies resources rather than dedicated labs or independent research teams.
