She has worked on a broad range of acoustical topics; her main activities are in Soundscape and its relevance in community noise research by means of psychoacoustics and acoustic ecology. Further research activities deal with the impact of noise on sensitive groups but also with comfort related issues concerning defined acoustical environments. Current research is devoted to the application of soundscape research in city planning and sound design. Moreover, the field “Soundscape” was initiated and introduced by her in the area of community noise and also sound design in the end of the nineties by starting an international network through organizing structure sessions on this topic at the international acoustic conferences.

She is member of the ISO/TC 43/SC 1/WG 54 "Perceptual Assessment of Soundscape” Quality and Vice –Chair of the COST TD0804 “Soundscape of European Cities and Landscape”
