Her research interests lie at the intersection of international economic law and public international law, with a strong emphasis on jurisdictional issues, treaty interpretation, and compliance mechanisms. She employs both doctrinal and empirical methodologies to analyze how international courts and tribunals interpret treaties and exercise jurisdiction. Her work often compares WTO dispute settlement with investor-state arbitration, exploring systemic coherence and fragmentation in international law.
The recent publications reflect a consistent focus on methodological rigor in treaty interpretation, compliance in investment disputes, and the systemic implications of international adjudication. Her work bridges doctrinal analysis with empirical datasets, contributing to both theoretical and practical debates in international law.
