Her research explores brain health through three key areas: clinical psychology (decision-making capacity in brain cancer patients), cognitive neuroscience (error awareness and self-monitoring), and social psychology (cultural trauma responses). She also investigates technology's impact on cognition through studies on smartphone bans in schools.

Recent publications reveal trends in metacognitive modeling (2016-2017), neural basis of confidence judgments (2022), and applied clinical research (2023-2024). Methodologies emphasize EEG studies, behavioral analysis, and grounded theory frameworks.
