Her recent research examines how AI is reshaping education and professional communication, including the skills, roles, and career trajectories emerging in AI-mediated workplaces. She has extensive experience in international and European-funded research projects and collaborations, contributing to research design, quality assurance, dissemination, and capacity-building activities, and serves as an Associate Editor for peer-reviewed international journals, while also acting as a regular peer reviewer across a broad range of outlets.
