Her research focuses on the regulation of artificial intelligence as well as on EU data law. Recent research projects have focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence by public administrations, the explainability of AI, on access to data for environmental purposes, on the regulation of data intermediaries under the Data Governance Act and on the notions of the data controller and personal data under the GDPR.
