Her research explores the effectiveness of chemical and biological methods in reducing pathogens in wheat and rapeseed, with emphasis on soil amendments like vermicompost, nanoparticle applications, and allelochemical responses in plant defense. Key contributions include studies on aphid probing behavior, fungal ecology in forest and agricultural systems, and sustainable disease prevention strategies.

Recent publications cover topics such as TiO2 nanoparticle impacts on plant rhizospheres, Larch Woolly Adelgid infestation dynamics, and microbial interactions in Armillaria pathogenesis. She supervises 2 doctoral students and has access to laboratory resources for molecular diagnostics and phytopathology research.
