Henry Albery completed his phd in 2020 at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München with a thesis entitled Buddhism and Society in the Indic North and Northwest, 2nd century BCE-3rd century CE, in which he focused on Buddhist donative inscriptions. He is currently a Junior Postdoctoral Fellow with the Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek at the University of Ghent, where is he working on a book project, Avadāna as Analogy: a Study in Buddhist Law and Narrative, which details the emergence of avadāna literature, a genre of Buddhist narrative, in the Indic Northwest (eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan), and its relation to monastic legal codes (vinaya).
