Her primary research interest is merger-driven galaxy evolution as traced by dual AGN and offset AGN, where offset AGN are supermassive black hole pairs where only one of the black holes is accreting gas as an AGN. She develops observational techniques for discovering dual AGN and offset AGN, for example using narrow AGN emission lines that are offset in velocity from systemic and AGN that are spatially offset from host galaxy centers. She uses these objects to study AGN triggering and supermassive black hole growth in galaxy mergers.
