Her research interests center on clinical nutrition, especially in aging populations, including energy expenditure, metabolic rate, dietary management of IBS, and sustainable hospital foodservices. She employs both quantitative and qualitative methods, with a strong emphasis on developing predictive models and behavior change interventions. Recent work includes developing age-specific equations for energy needs, reducing food waste in hospitals, and evaluating long-term outcomes of the low FODMAP diet.
Her most recent publications show a strong trend toward integrating nutrition science with sustainability, geriatric rehabilitation, and implementation science. She frequently publishes in high-impact journals such as The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, with a focus on clinically applicable tools and systemic interventions.
