Her research focuses on uncovering the nature of the accelerated expansion of the universe using data from the largest sky surveys ever conducted. As a member of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) collaboration, she contributed to the construction of the Dark Energy Camera and leads the search program for optical counterparts of gravitational wave events using that camera. The program aims at establishing gravitational waves as a completely novel method to study cosmic acceleration in future surveys. She also contributes to the effort of measuring the cosmic acceleration using traditional methods such as galaxy clusters and weak gravitational lensing in DES.
