Her research centers on philosophy of mind and language, aesthetics, social philosophy, and history of analytic philosophy. Current work investigates the metaphysics of states of understanding pictures and language, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement with cognitive theory and visual representation as seen in her forthcoming article 'The Unity of Pictorial Experience'.

Publications demonstrate sustained focus on foundational philosophical problems: her 2019 book review of Kimhi's 'Thinking and Being' critically examines metaphysical and logical frameworks in analytic tradition, while forthcoming contributions address derogatory language semantics and pictorial experience unity, revealing thematic continuity in language-mind-ontology intersections.
