Dr. Buratti's research focuses on the psychology of assessment and decision-making in both everyday contexts and professional settings, with particular emphasis on memory processes and how individuals evaluate their own knowledge. Her work bridges cognitive psychology with practical applications in healthcare, education, and occupational settings.

Her publication record reveals consistent contributions across multiple domains: occupational psychology (particularly burnout and stress in professionals like psychologists and clergy), pediatric health psychology (focusing on children with cardiac conditions), gerontology (retirement transitions and aging), and metacognition. The interdisciplinary nature of her work is evident in collaborations spanning psychology, cardiology, and information technology.

Dr. Buratti actively supervises doctoral students and leads multiple research projects funded by organizations including AFA, Forte, and the Kamprad Family Foundation. Her current research examines stress factors in teachers, priests, and psychologists; metacognition in older adults; and technology adaptation for aging populations.

Her teaching portfolio includes cognitive psychology, memory psychology, assessments, decision-making, as well as methods and statistics courses.
