In her research on interactive data visualization she has provided new approaches for plotting multivariatecategorical data using mosaic plots, and making interactions with these plots, and linking between plots. She was the primary development of the software MANET and contributed to the development of the software GGobi. More recent software include the R packages x3prplus, geomnet, nullabor, gglogo, peptider, discreteRV, ggboxplots, ggparallel, dbData, HLMdiag, lvboxplots, MergeGUI, MissingDataGUI. Her work on examining the inflow of corporate cash into the 2012 US presidential election can be read in Chance magazine.[12]
