Her research focuses on behavioral and experimental law and economics, computational legal analysis, and international criminal law, with a particular emphasis on day fines and ideological bias in constitutional judgments. Recent publications highlight global behavioral responses to crises (pandemics, climate change) and legal-economic frameworks for sanctioning systems.

Her empirical and computational studies (2023-2025) span copyright law, climate change policy, terrorism perception, and criminal justice reform, reflecting interdisciplinary methodologies. She has received grants for research on income-dependent fines and pandemic governance, though specific awards remain unlisted. She actively promotes empirical legal education through ECELS and EDLE, with teaching and leadership roles in European legal academia.
