Dr. Kotyk is a researcher. He graduated from Leiden University in 2017. His project:
Understanding Sino-Iranian relations during medieval times.
Official relations between China and Iran date to the early 20th century, but Sino and Iranian civilisations have had a long history of exchanges from at least 200 BCE. The EU-funded SINOIRAN project will explore their ties from the 3rd to the 10th centuries, focussing on political, religious, and material exchanges between China and Sassanian Iran. By building a bridge between modern Sinology and Iranology, the project will shed light on the history of Sino-Iranian relations in close coordination with Iranologists in Italy and Europe. Specifically, it will draw from a digitised corpus of classical Chinese. The roles of Iranian religions in medieval China will also be assessed
