I am a Tenure-track Professor of Modern South Asian History at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona. My research on nineteenth and twentieth-century India explores several often overlapping topics: the princely states, the political and cultural exchanges between the Indian subcontinent and Europe, gender and masculinity, and visual culture.

I hold a PhD in History from the University of Cambridge. I have been a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi (with an ICAS:MP fellowship, awarded by the M. S. Merian – R. Tagore International Centre of Advanced Studies) and at UPF (with a Juan de la Cierva-Formación Fellowship and a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación Fellowship by the Government of Spain).

At UPF, I am a member of the Department of Humanities, the Jaume Vicens i Vives Institute of History (IHJVV), and the Research Group on Empires, Metropoles, and Extra-European Societies (GRIMSE).
