His research has included studies of indoor environmental conditions within the homes of children with asthma and studies that aim to understand the factors that contribute to specific exposures such as pesticides and other chemicals, allergens, secondhand smoke, particulate matter, and other combustion by-products. He has worked with national, state, and local agencies on projects that aim to reduce the burden of disease from indoor environmental issues.

Her current research areas include indoor sources of particulate matter, the factors affecting their dispersion within and between rooms, and assessment of human exposure to particulate toxins and airborne allergens indoors. She has served on advisory committees for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the California Air Resources Board and as an associate editor for Environmental Science & Technology and Aerosol Science and Technology. She is currently on the advisory board for Environmental Science & Technology.
