Her research extensively examines urban transformations in Constantinople and Thessalonike under Ottoman expansion, analyzing impacts on aristocratic power networks, monastic institutions, and cross-cultural political dynamics. She investigates how socio-economic foundations of Byzantine society adapted to military pressures through comparative studies of urban versus rural monastic communities and Venetian-occupied territories.
