With a primary research interest centered around the intersection of ethics and entrepreneurship, she focuses on examining the roles, practices, and mechanisms of business ventures with a strong overarching social purpose in contributing to social and environmental sustainability.

Her work contributes to understanding how hybrid institutions and social actors navigate academic capitalism, university-government-industry collaborations, care practices, and inequality in response to societal challenges.
