Her research focuses on the intersection of accounting, finance, and data analytics, with core interests in Big Data & Machine Learning, Capital Markets, Corporate Finance, and International Finance.

Her work frequently examines information asymmetry, cross-border investment patterns, and the behavioral aspects of financial reporting.

Early work established her expertise in foreign analyst behavior and IFRS adoption effects, while recent publications incorporate climatic risk analysis and sophisticated textual analysis of corporate disclosures. Common methodological threads include large-scale dataset analysis, cross-country comparisons, and innovative approaches to measuring information processing in capital markets.
