Research: My area of study is the history of Eurasia and of my ancestral Siberian homeland — Sakha Sire. For my dissertation, I am researching the 1879-1881 U.S. Arctic Expedition, commonly known as the Jeannette Expedition. It was an epic undertaking, led by USN Lieutenant George De Long, to reach the North Pole. My research focuses on the encounter between the stranded sailors of the Jeannette and the Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, including the Sakha.
