Ackermann’s research focuses on data quality and citizen participation in the urban knowledge society, particularly crowdsensing campaigns for climate and mobility data. Her work explores the technical and social dimensions of crowdsensing, including privacy metrics adaptation, fake device detection, and differential privacy mechanisms for mobility data anonymization. She has contributed to tools like CrowdAnym and ResoMeter for data curation and measurement planning.

She has supervised thesis topics related to crowdsensing and mobility data anonymization, though no individual student names are listed. Her publications span interdisciplinary themes at the intersection of computer science, urban studies, and environmental monitoring.
