Ses intérêts scientifiques se situent dans l’histoire des techniques de construction et des équipements du confort du XXe siècle, ainsi que dans les stratégies de sauvegarde et du patrimoine moderne et contemporain. Elle développe ces deux axes principaux dans ses recherches, tant en ce qui concerne le patrimoine monumental de l’entre-deux-guerres (ex. L’appartement-atelier de Le Corbusier au 24NC, mandat de la Fondation Le Corbusier, 2014, Grant Getty Foundation) que dans le corpus élargi de la production architecturale 1945-1975 (ex. Stratégies pour la cité du Lignon, 2009-2011 ; Europa Nostra Award 2013, Umisicht Award 2013). L’intérêt de ses thèmes de prédilection est témoigné par sa participation à des manifestations scientifiques internationales, tant en Europe (Paris, Lisbonne, Milan, Luxembourg, etc.), qu’à l’échelle internationale (Chandigarh, Mexico, Tokyo, Montréal, etc.) et ses nombreux articles et contributions (Werk, Arquitectura Viva, AMC, La Revue de l’art, etc.). Parmi se principales publications, citons la monographie consacrée à l’ensemble de la Caisse d’allocations familiales de Paris (Picard, 2009, 270 p.) et le livre sur la restauration de la cité du Lignon (Infolio, 2012, 160 p.) dont elle a assuré la conception et la coordination scientifique. Ses dernières publications d’envergure sont le volume Building Environment and Interiors Comfort in 20th-Century Architecture : Understanding Issues and Developing Conservation Strategies, co-dirigé avec Franz Graf (PPUR, 2016, 536 p.), le Cahier du TSAM n. 2, "Les multiples vies de l'appartement-atelier. Le Corbusier" (PPUR, 2017, 200 p.) et le livre "La buvette d'Évian. Novarina, Prouvé, Ketoff", (Infolio, 2018). Son dernier ouvrage "Avanchet-Parc: cité de conception nouvelle et originale" est paru en 2020 aux éditions Infolio.
