Research Focuses

Her research is positioned at the intersection of economic sociology, social policy and sustainability studies, with a focus on the development of evaluation frameworks to measure multidimensional impacts in socio-ecological transitions. Key thematic areas include welfare systems, energy transitions and food systems, with attention to social, institutional and territorial implications of socio-technical transformations. 

Her research adopts an applied and interdisciplinary approach, contributing social science perspectives to technically and economically driven contexts, and supporting policy design, monitoring and decision-making through collaboration with public institutions and stakeholders.
