Her interests in teaching and research include the ecological transition on an urban and territorial scale. In particular, she works on the question of how spatial design and spatial research can contribute to acting within planetary boundaries and regenerating the biosphere in order to effectively reverse the climate crisis. She advises foundations on research projects and serves as an urban design expert on national and international competition juries.

She is the author, co-author and/or co-editor of various international specialist books (selection):
