Her research focuses on Germanic-Romance contact, language variation, minority-language documentation, and the lexicography of Gressoney Titsch. She has contributed to the CLiMAlp and AlpiLinK projects and currently works on the PRIN HCAI4Gend project. Alongside her research, she has extensive university teaching experience.
