Her research interests include artificial intelligence-based methods, geographic information systems (GIS), land cover, crowdsourcing, and citizen science. As part of the NODES group she works with the Geo-Wiki team on crowdsourcing of land cover data, quality assurance of crowdsourced data, and community building. In addition, she coordinated the Austrian ASAP-10 LACO-Wiki project, which is an online tool for the validation of land cover, and the Austrian-funded project ADAPT-UHI, which has developed strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation in small to medium-sized cities in Austria. She was the IIASA lead of the European Space Agency funded CAMALIOT project and led a successful crowdsourcing campaign to collect satellite navigation data using a mobile app. She also supported the Horizon 2020-funded LandSense and WeObserve projects. She is currently the work package lead in the Horizon Europe Land Management for Sustainability (LAMASUS) project (2022-2026) and supports the Urban ReLeaf project (2023-2026), both of which are led by IIASA. She is an editor of the journal Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science.
