Research Interests include the philosophical analysis of perception, cognitive phenomenology, intentionalism, and the nature of phenomenal consciousness. She has extensively examined the influence of high-level properties on visual experience and the implications of associative agnosia for theories of mind.

Publication Trends reveal a focus on the intersection of Consciousness Studies, Philosophy of Perception, and Cognitive Science. Her work often addresses the representational content of visual experiences, the existence of cognitive phenomenology, and critiques of traditional mind-body theories like physicalism and functionalism.

Academic Contributions span peer-reviewed articles, encyclopedia entries, and lectures at institutions such as Australian National University and University of the Philippines. Her research has been published in journals like Review of Philosophy and Psychology and Norwegian Philosophical Journal.
