Lindroos specializes in interdisciplinary research bridging political science, philosophy, and the arts. Her core research interests include:

• Political theory and conceptual analysis
• Art as political discourse and visual testimony
• Temporality and memory studies
• Violence research through multidisciplinary frameworks
• Critical theory (especially Walter Benjamin)
• Science policy and academic research practices

Her publications demonstrate a consistent focus on power dynamics, temporal analysis, and artistic political witness. Recent works frequently engage with Walter Benjamin's philosophy, Chris Marker's cinematography, and interdisciplinary methodologies connecting political theory with cultural artifacts. Thematic patterns reveal deep exploration of memory, critique, and the intersection of aesthetics with political action.

Lindroos contributes to two research groups:

• Violence Research (multidisciplinary analysis of violence)
• The Politics and the Arts (art as political discourse)

She has supervised multiple doctoral dissertations and master's theses, though specific student names are not provided. No grants or scientific awards are mentioned in the source material.
