Her research focuses on Roman military archaeology, particularly early Roman military camps, Roman military history, militaria, ancient small finds, civilian settlements in Germania Inferior, and Roman watermills. She employs advanced analytical methods such as computed tomography to study wooden military artifacts, contributing to a deeper understanding of Roman military technology and daily life in frontier regions.

The analysis of her publications reveals a strong thematic focus on the Roman military presence along the Lower Germanic Limes, with particular attention to battlefield sites like Kalkriese and civilian settlements such as Rimburg. Her work integrates excavation data, material analysis, and technological studies, demonstrating interdisciplinary rigor in Roman provincial archaeology.
