Dr. Ye's research interrogates how social and economic differences materialize through mobilities in diversifying cities, focusing on cultural diversity, critical cosmopolitanism, class inequality, gender dynamics, and Southeast Asian urban political economies. She innovatively integrates ethnographic fieldwork with visual methodologies including film and photography to construct narrative representations of urban life.

Her scholarly output appears in premier geography journals such as Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Annals of the American Association of Geographers, and Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement with critical urban theory and spatial inequality.
