Hatice Koroglu Cam (she/her) is a fourth-year Ph.D. student, specializing in Italian early modern art, with particular interest in painting, sculpture and graphic arts. Her research focuses on collecting practices, displaying strategies and the formation of beholder in early modern Rome.
She earned her B.A. in art history, summa cum laude, from Rutgers University in 2022. Her honors thesis, supervised by Dr. Sarah Blake McHam, examined the influence of Hellenistic sculpture, particularly the Laocoön, on Michelangelo's presentation drawing The Punishment of Tityus. That same year, she held a research internship with the Archivio Digitale Boncompagni Ludovisi Project, and her research, supervised by Dr. T. Corey Brennan, resulted in a four-part article titled “A New Self-Portrait of Michelangelo? The Statue of Pan at the Casino dell’Aurora in Rome.”
She has presented her research at national and international conferences. These include the Pan and the Anthropocene symposium at the University of Bristol, UK, (2023), the annual meetings of the Classical Association of the Atlantic States (2023) , and the Archaeological Institute of America (2025). Most recently, she presented a different research project at the Canadian Society for Renaissance Studies conference at the Université de Montréal (June 2026).
