Her primary research interests include X-ray crystallography, coherent imaging, ultrafast science, and structural dynamics, with a focus on using multilayer Laue lenses and free-electron lasers to achieve sub-ångström and sub-femtosecond resolution. Her recent work explores attosecond-scale quantum crystallography to observe electronic and nuclear coupling in molecules.

One recent publication highlights her involvement in pioneering convergent-beam attosecond X-ray crystallography, aiming to directly observe electronic structure dynamics post-photoinitiation. This work contributes to understanding quantum coherences and controlling molecular dynamics.
