Her research centers on environmental law, the law of the sea, marine genetic resources, food law, and the intersection of law and science. She explores how legal frameworks govern ocean sustainability, bioprospecting, and scientific research, particularly under UNCLOS. Her work emphasizes governance models, fundamental rights, and the ethical dimensions of marine resource use.
Her recent publications, especially from 2018 to 2023, focus on biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ), marine scientific research, and ocean governance. The BBNJ Agreement and marine bioprospecting are recurring themes, reflecting her engagement with emerging international legal regimes.
