Hilli's research centers on the intersection of Didactics and digital spaces, with particular focus on postqualitative approaches to educational phenomena. Her work examines hybrid learning environments, generative AI applications in education, and cross-curricular teaching methodologies. Through a sociomaterial lens, she investigates how human and non-human actors co-constitute educational practices, especially within virtual learning contexts where cyborgian entanglements challenge traditional pedagogical boundaries.
Analysis of her 36 publications (2014-2025) reveals consistent thematic development from foundational work on distance education toward contemporary explorations of AI-integrated pedagogy. Her recent scholarship demonstrates increasing methodological sophistication through postqualitative frameworks that interrogate epistemic tensions in digital education. Key trends include the material-semiotic dimensions of academic writing processes, the role of uncertainty in Bildung-oriented teaching, and leadership challenges in implementing cross-curricular reforms.
Hilli actively contributes to major collaborative research initiatives including NordicEdAI (2024-2027) on AI in Nordic education and CO-WRITE (2025-2027) investigating collaborative academic writing in hybrid environments. Her media presence demonstrates significant public engagement, with 30 media appearances since 2022 addressing critical issues in educational technology implementation.
As principal investigator and co-investigator across seven research projects (2014-2027), Hilli has secured funding from entities including Högskolestiftelsen i Österbotten and Svenska kulturfonden. Her leadership extends to the poeda research network, which facilitates transnational collaboration on postqualitative educational research.
Hilli's work operates at the nexus of theoretical innovation and practical application, particularly through the HELLA: Higher Education Learning Lab (2017-2019) and DigiLi project (2019-2022) which developed frameworks for equitable distance education. Current research activities are concentrated within the NordicEdAI consortium and CO-WRITE project teams, where she coordinates cross-institutional investigations of AI's pedagogical implications.
