Her research is situated at the intersection of communication, political science, and computational methods applied to the social sciences. Her work advances the understanding of contemporary processes of opinion formation and political behavior in digitally mediated environments. Over the past decade, she has developed a sustained research agenda focused on analyzing patterns of online news consumption using large-scale web-browsing behavioral data, as well as examining the causal effects of digital news consumption on political attitudes and political behavior. The results of this research have been published in some of the most influential and prestigious academic journals in the field. Her teaching focuses on comparative politics and research methods in the social sciences at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. She has taught at leading universities and academic programs and has designed and directed doctoral-level courses specialized in research methods. Her teaching is characterized by a strong emphasis on analytical rigor, empirical analysis, and the integration of advanced methods —both quantitative and computational— in the study of political and social phenomena.
