Dorji Wangchuk
Dorji Wangchuk was born in 1967 in East Bhutan. After the completion of his ten year training (1987–1997) in the Tibetan monastic seminary of Ngagyur Nyingma Institute at Bylakuppe, Mysore, South India, he studied classical Indology and Tibetology, with a focus on Buddhism, at the University of Hamburg, where he received his MA (2002) and PhD (2005) degrees. Currently he is professor for Tibetology at the Department of Indian and Tibetan Studies, Asia-Africa Institute, University of Hamburg. His special field of interest lies in the intellectual history of Tibetan Buddhism and in the Tibetan Buddhist literature. Through the ARPI project and the Khyentse Center for Tibetan Buddhist Textual Scholarship (KC-TBTS), Dr. Wangchuk has trained a generation of Khenpos in advanced academic research and philology, allowing traditional Buddhist scholars to publish master's and PhD projects in the Tibetan language.
