Her research examines transdisciplinary knowledge formations, particularly through the theories and practices of Lynn Margulis and Donna Haraway, aiming to historicize the integration of symbiosis into ecological and philosophical discourses post-1968. She has contributed to publications on topics like death rituals in multispecies systems and Anthropocene stratigraphy.

She has been funded by the Leibniz Centre for Literary and Cultural Research (ZfL) since 2020 and participated in workshops and colloquia on Margulis and planetary culture.
