Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of cultural sociology, science and technology studies, and the sociology of professions, with a present focus on issues of expertise, complexity management, decision-making, and information technology use. She has written on the structure of American sociology, expert decision-making under uncertainty, and the sociocognitive organization of meteorological vision. Building on an ethnographic study of forecasting operations at the National Weather Service, she is currently finishing a book manuscript that analyzes the process of diagnosis and prognosis under regimes of high complexity.
