As a Fulbright and Georges Lurcy Fellow she was a visiting researcher at Georgia Tech in 2015 where she worked on Cross-Border Data Transfers and Data Governance.

My current research focuses on the accountability of digital platforms, with a particular emphasis on the implementation of the DSA (Digital Services Act). I also explore issues related to digital sovereignty, regulation of artificial intelligence, protection of personal data (particularly under the GDPR), and, more generally, how to build trust in the digital ecosystem. My work involves analyzing regulatory frameworks and best practices to foster a safer and more transparent digital environment.
