Her scientific work centers on quantum interference, single-molecule electronics, and molecular conductance across various nanoscale systems. Key contributions include theoretical frameworks for electron and phonon transport in molecular junctions, with applications in solar cells and electronic devices.

Recent research trends include:

• Quantum interference in alternant/nonalternant hydrocarbons (e.g., azulene)
• Mechanical/structural control of thermal/electronic transport
• Interplay between vibrational modes and tunneling currents
• Substituent effects on molecular conductance

She leads computational studies and collaborates on experimental validations, with a strong emphasis on theoretical chemistry and quantum mechanical modeling.
