Her academic appointment specifically focuses on IT and Media Law, Data Law and Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence, and Chinese Law, positioning her at the critical intersection of technology, data governance, and comparative legal systems between Europe and China. Prof. Blasek's research interests center on the complex regulatory challenges emerging from digital transformation, with particular expertise in comparative analysis of Chinese and European legal frameworks. Her work examines artificial intelligence regulation, data protection mechanisms, digital identity systems, credit scoring methodologies, and the adaptation of traditional legal concepts to evolving technological landscapes. She has developed significant expertise in cross-jurisdictional legal challenges, especially regarding the implementation of GDPR principles in international contexts and the comparative study of algorithmic governance. Analysis of her recent scholarly output reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated examination of AI governance frameworks across jurisdictions, with notable emphasis on the China-EU regulatory divergence. Her publications demonstrate consistent engagement with timely legal challenges surrounding digital identity systems (particularly the EU-ID-Wallet), credit scoring transparency, and the practical implementation of 'right to explanation' principles under GDPR. This body of work shows her evolving from foundational comparative legal analysis toward influencing regulatory development through expert contributions to policy discussions. Prof. Blasek maintains active engagement with professional organizations and governmental bodies as reflected in her board memberships and expert roles. She served as President of SP China Alumni e.V. until April 2020 and continues as a Member of the Board of the German-Chinese Lawyers Associations since November 2012.

Her professional impact is further demonstrated through her role as peer reviewer for the Hague Journal on the Rule of Law since May 2015, reviewer for ZEVA accreditation processes, and membership on the DAAD selection committee since 2010. These positions reflect significant recognition of her expertise in both European and Chinese legal systems, particularly regarding technology law and data governance frameworks.
