Her main research interest is in the understanding of processing-microstructure-property relationships of nanomaterials. The research covers a wide range of experimental analytical techniques such as electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Such techniques enable the characterization of nanometre scale phases and provide an in-depth understanding of the materials' roperties. Her current research area is the synthesis of inorganic materials using chemical and mechanical processing techniques. The materials of interest are thermoelectric and energetic materials including metal alloys, intermetallics and functional ceramics
