She has undertaken research and collaborated with colleagues from academic institutions and governmental and civil society organisations across the globe; including the UK, Taiwan, the USA, Canada, Israel, China, the Netherlands, and Romania.

She has been involved in several international projects such as the UN Anti-Torture Initiative on The Principles for Effective Interviewing, the white paper on interviewing vulnerable witnesses by the European Association for Psychology and Law and participated in the UK Parliament Research briefing on Age Assessment of Asylum-seeking children.
