Her research focuses on the socio-cognitive foundations of team performance, including cognitive diversity, creative self-efficacy, transactive memory systems, and collective identification. She investigates how teams perceive diversity and how cognitive styles influence collaboration and forecasting accuracy. Her work integrates psychological theories with organizational applications, particularly in understanding how internal team dynamics affect creativity and decision-making.

The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in studying team cognition and collaborative intelligence. Keywords across articles include cognitive diversity, team creativity, forecasting behavior, and socio-cognitive modeling. The research spans disciplines such as organizational psychology, cognitive science, and behavioral economics, often using empirical and experimental methods to explore team-level phenomena. A strong emphasis is placed on both individual self-beliefs and group-level cognitive systems.
