She runs a range of industry linked research projects, some with global design elements. Her research interests lie in the broad areas of enterprise engineering and design informatics. She has a particular interest in the representation and integration of product data. Recent work has involved the application of product data engineering principles to the representation and evaluation of alternative process and extended enterprise structures. Her design systems research is positioned within the context of stage gate processes that typify current industry practice. It aims to facilitate improved modes of working through the exploitation of digital technology and to establish design methods and tools to support systematic evaluation of design alternatives at decision gates.
