Her research intertwines architectural theory, media studies, and computational design, with a focus on gender theory, digital tools, and material cultures. Recent publications like The Architectural Imagination at the Digital Turn (2022) highlight her analysis of digital technology's transformation of architectural practice. Her 2017 work on Building Information Modeling (BIM) underscores her expertise in computational workflows.

Analysis of her 15 most recent articles (2013–2024) reveals recurring themes: media-architecture integration, algorithmic design, gendered digital spaces, material agency, sensory environments, and historical computing practices. These include interviews, journal papers, and book chapters published across Springer, Birkhäuser, and transcript Verlag platforms.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Research Fellow at Bauhaus University’s IKKM (2017)
• Research Fellow at Leuphana University’s MECS (2013)

While no direct information about students is provided, her editorial leadership in works like Utopia Computer: The 'New' in Architecture? (2023) and Infrastrukturen des Urbanen (2013) reflects a deep engagement with academic discourse.
