Her main research interests are in Market Microstructure and span a wide range of topics including market transparency, high frequency trading, market liquidity and systemic risks. Her published works are of policy relevance on issues related to the role of non-anonymity in electronic markets and the incentives of market makers to provide liquidity in volatile markets.
