She has researched embodied and environed cultures and histories of medicine, engineering and molecular sciences, eg AI-technologies and waste management, biological diversity and climate change at the edge of the sea, and developed practices for the needed forms of posthumanities today, for instance more humane and more than human citizen humanities.
