Her research focuses on the evolutionary origins of facial/body perception, mate preference homogamy, and developmental influences on economic behavior. She employs interdisciplinary methods including eye-tracking, geometric morphometrics, and fieldwork in China. Key themes include parent-offspring mate conflict, historical beauty standards, and hormonal predictors of decision-making.

Key article trends reveal expertise in evolutionary psychology, facial analysis, and cultural variation, with subtopics ranging from testosterone exposure effects to Waist-to-Hip Ratio theories and cross-cultural kissing behavior.
