She has published widely on the history of early modern Germany with particular focus on the Thirty Years War. Her most recent work, Coping with Life during the Thirty Years' War (Leiden: Brill, 2021), explores how seventeenth-century contemporaries survived this long war with its many detrimental repercussions.

In her keynote lecture she returns to the Thirty Years War to explore the material culture that illuminates how this devastating conflict was experienced.
