Her research is focused in two complementary areas:
 

(1) Drug delivery systems engineering

Advanced encapsulation methods for the fabrication of drug carriers
Controlled release and biophysics of therapeutic delivery -Theranostics and treatment monitoring
 

(2) Biomedical ultrasonics

Engineering microbubble agents for diagnostic and therapeutic applications
Physics of cavitation in high intensity focused ultrasound
Biophysical effects of ultrasound
