Her research involves:
- fungi as living organisms and their dependence on the environment in relation to library and museum collections;
- prevention and eradication of fungal outbreaks;
- specific signs of fungal infestations and their impact on artifacts;
- observing fungal specimens under a microscope and learning how to identify typical features, as well as growing fungi; and
- health hazards and prevention and reduction of fungi grow in cellulosic materials, leather, parchment, plastics and others.
