Her current work focuses on the System and Sustainability Determinants of Life in Space (SSDLiS), a determinants-based conceptual framework for human health and sustainability beyond Earth. She also works at the intersection of space health and artificial intelligence, exploring how AI tools can support human-centered design, monitoring, and governance of future space habitats. She collaborates across medicine, engineering, and policy to help shape human-centered, sustainable concepts for long-duration spaceflight and emerging space settlements.
