Her current doctoral project explores the Yogapradīpa, a 15th-century Jain Yoga compendium, analyzing its reception through multilingual manuscript commentaries (ṭabos and bālāvabodhas). She investigates textual transmission, philosophical adaptation, and the vernacularization of Yoga knowledge in Jain traditions through extensive philological work and field experience in India and Europe. Her publication record shows a clear progression from foundational studies on Yoga to increasingly specialized work on Jain Yoga texts. The recent articles (2024-2025) demonstrate deep engagement with specific Jain Yoga texts like the Yogapradīpa, Tattvārthasūtra, and works by Haribhadra and Hemacandra, while her upcoming 2026-2027 publications promise to make significant contributions to understanding Jain concepts of self and philosophical approaches to Yoga.
