Her research focuses on Labor Economics and Health Economics, particularly the intersection of macroeconomic conditions with long-term care, gender care gaps, and applied microeconometric analyses. She explores how retirement policies and caregiving responsibilities impact health outcomes and economic inequality.

Recent publications examine the gender disparities in long-term care (DIW Weekly Report 7/2024), macroeconomic drivers of care costs (Discussion Paper 2096/2024), and policy interventions for caregiving support (Politikberatung kompakt 186/2022). Her work frequently employs SOEP data and addresses social policy implications in Germany.
