Annette Louise Ittig Ph.D., St. Antony's College, Oxford, England UK. The last I heard Annette was working in Northern Afghanistan with some sort of aid agency. I worked with a woman when I was at the Smithonian who was a friend of Annette Ittig and she indicated that Ittig was continuing her studies on horseback accross norther Afghanistan. That was in the period before the US Afghan war when Taliban controlled much of Afghanistan.
Ph.D. in Islamic art at Oriental Institute, Oxford University. I am not sure but I believe that Ittig is the first person to get a Doctorate focusing on Oriental Rugs.

Documentation of Afghanistan Synagogues
ISJM has given grants of $950 to Prof. Annette Ittig to document several sites of Jewish interest in Herat, Afghanistan including four former synagogues and a bath house. She commissioned photographs, measured drawings, and described the buildings. The Yu Aw Synagogue figures most prominently in her documentation, as it remains closest in form and function to its original use. This work is part of a larger project to document and protect the historic Old City of Herat.
