Her areas of interest comprise the characterization and developing of new dental restorative materials with improved performance through the implementation of novel monomer and/or filler systems; the application of fracture mechanics methodology in the analysis of restorative materials and their adhesive interfaces to the hard tooth tissues or other restoratives, the characterization of light curing units and the quantification of material’s tolerance to improper, but clinically relevant curing conditions.
Research interests: dental restorative materials, adhesive interfaces, characterization of light curing source.
