Eman specializes in Urban Heritage Conservation and Heritage Impact Assessment.

Publications Trends:
Eman’s only explicitly dated publication, About Art and Construction - Argumentative Research and Perfectionism (2013), reflects her engagement with architectural theory and cultural critique.

From 2011–2014, she worked as an architect at the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) on the Ancient Egyptian Architecture Online (AEGARON) project.
