The primary focal point of my academic research is about the Sunnite Islamic intellectual heritage, specifically about the post-classical Sunnite Islamic scholastic-theological and/or theosophical schools and beyond (e.g., Peripatetic philosophy, Illuminationist theosophy, Yeñi İlm-ı Kelâm movement).

The primary focal point of my academic research is about the Sunnite Islamic intellectual heritage, specifically about the post-classical Sunnite Islamic scholastic-theological and/or theosophical schools and beyond (e.g., Peripatetic philosophy, Illuminationist theosophy, Yeñi İlm-ı Kelâm movement). Forays into a systematic study of the corpora of creed-related didactic poems (manẓūmāt), treatises (rasāʾil), scholia (ḥawāšiyy), commentaries (šurūḥ), and abridgments (muḵtaṣarāt), inter aliā, which comprise the summae, commentatorial, and supercommentatorial traditions of post-classical Sunnism are the central scope of my academic research. From the aforementioned forays, subject matters particularly related to the development of metaphysics, philosophical logic, and meta-ethics in the post-classical Sunnite Islamic heritage are what I am concerned with the most. I am currently engaged in a plethora of research projects, such as research on the developments of Islamicate scholastic theology and/or theosophy in the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, research on the transmission and developments of Islamicate and Christian scholastic theology and/or theosophy in Southeast Asia, and pioneering research on the Islamic intellectual tradition within Mindanao and the Sūlū archipelago, among others.
