She leads the Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Social Interaction (NEVIA) research group, focusing on objective measurement of social interaction dynamics through digital phenotyping and portable biosensing technologies.

Her research integrates cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology, utilizing dual portable eye-tracking, wearable psychophysiological sensors, and neuroimaging to study temporal coordination in social behaviors. Key areas include

• Neural mechanisms of interpersonal synchrony
• Nonverbal communication differences in neurodevelopmental disorders
• Development of diagnostic tools for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD

Recent publications highlight applications of machine learning in social interaction analysis and physiological concordance patterns in psychotherapy. Her work spans transdiagnostic approaches to social behavior difficulties across multiple psychiatric conditions.
