Dr. Kozlowska Rautiainen's research focuses on international commercial arbitration, with particular expertise in document production procedures and protections for vulnerable parties in arbitration. Her doctoral dissertation, Obtaining documents from the opponent in international commercial arbitration, addresses one of the most contentious issues in the field. She currently participates in two major research projects: one examining employment arbitration and protections for weaker parties, and another developing methodological approaches for academic research in international arbitration.

Her publication record shows consistent contributions to international arbitration scholarship, with recent work exploring the intersection of GDPR and document production, transparency mechanisms, and human rights considerations in commercial arbitration. Her research demonstrates a strong commitment to balancing procedural fairness with practical effectiveness in transnational dispute resolution.
