• Research focus on invasive plant species dynamics
• Developed ex situ conservation protocols for endangered flora
• Studied ski-piste restoration impacts on arthropods

Her work spans three key research groups: Plant Diversity and Distribution, Plant Species and Habitat Conservation, and Plant Ecology. Analysis of her 15 most recent articles reveals trends in invasion biology, climate change impacts on alpine ecosystems, and vegetation restoration techniques. She actively contributes to third-mission activities and serves on academic bodies like the Commissione per le Carriere degli Studenti (CCS).
