Her research focuses on media effects, computational communication science, and societal challenges such as bias, stereotypes, and age discrimination. She leads projects like INCA (Infrastructure for Content Analysis), advancing automated content analysis through computational methods. Kroon's work bridges social science theory with digital tools, addressing issues like media bias in news, algorithmic fairness, and the ethical implications of AI.

Her research interests span media framing, audience behavior, and the societal impact of digital platforms. Notable projects include studies on dark platforms' role in information flows, gender and age stereotypes in job advertisements, and the psychological effects of media exposure on stereotypes. She has published extensively on computational methods, including transfer learning applications in media analysis and the detection of ethnic biases through word embeddings.

Kroon's work often addresses real-world policy implications, such as combating ageism in the workplace and understanding the digital divide's vulnerabilities. She collaborates across disciplines, integrating sociology, communication science, and computer science to tackle complex societal issues.
