Her work investigates complex dynamical systems in one and several variables, with a strong emphasis on analytic and algebraic approaches to moduli spaces. She has contributed significantly to understanding Thurston maps, rational map dynamics, and algebraic structures in moduli spaces.
Her recent publications address boundary stable Thurston maps, Gleason polynomial factorization, and eigenvalues of the Thurston operator. She has received prestigious awards, including the Class of 1923 Memorial Teaching Award, Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award, and Haimo Award from the MAA.
