Specialization: Mountain guide, PhD in History, history teacher.

  I was born in 1989 in Baku. My deep interest in history guided me toward an academic path, and I began to specialize in this field, conducting in-depth research on various periods of Azerbaijani history. I graduated with distinction from both the bachelor's and master's programs at Baku State University and embarked on an academic career.

Working as a teacher, scientific researcher, and scholar, I completed my dissertation on the population during the Safavid period and earned a PhD in History. Currently, I serve as a senior lecturer in Azerbaijani History at Baku Engineering University.

My academic work is not confined to the walls of a university. As the author of one book, co-author of five books, a member of the editorial board of one atlas, and editor of seven books, I continue to contribute to the study and dissemination of Azerbaijani history. In addition to being the author of over 30 scholarly articles, I have successfully completed specialization courses on international platforms, including Arizona State University, Stanford University, the University of California, and other prestigious institutions.

However, history is not written only in archives — it lives in the peaks of mountains, in forgotten villages, in human destinies. Since 2012, traveling to mountain villages to explore local culture and our ancient heritage has become a true passion for me. Each journey is not only about learning the past but also about uncovering the forgotten pages of our history. I compile my research into articles and strive to share our historical and cultural heritage with a broader audience.

I have set out to find traces of the past not just in the pages of books, but in the very soil of our land. History speaks — and I am here to listen and share its story.
