Her research focuses on early language development in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, with emphasis on cognitive neuroscience methods. Key projects include:

• L3WO: Hyperarticulation's effects on word learning
• HELD: Clear articulation in child-directed speech
• VAICA: Vocal affect in infant-directed speech
• DIDI: Distributional learning mechanisms
• LETO: Tone perception development
• PALL: Affect in infant learning
• SoundStart: Statistical learning foundations
• CAPSL: Auditory predictability studies

Recent publications analyze lexical tone discrimination, vocal affect dynamics, and global speech exposure patterns. Her work connects speech perception with neural mechanisms using electrophysiological measures. While no specific awards are mentioned, her international collaborations and methodological innovations in infant-directed speech underscore significant contributions.
