Manage full-cycle projects including research planning, archival investigation across multiple jurisdictions, analysis of civil, religious, and migration records, and preparation of structured research reports. Specialize in cases involving Eastern Europe, the Balkans, former Ottoman territories, and Central Asia, particularly where historical border changes and multilingual record systems complicate documentation.
