She has published on Roman portraits of the 3rd century AD and other questions of Roman portraiture, on theomorphic representations of Hellenistic, and Roman rulers, and on late antique mythological sculpture. In recent times she has concentrated on problems of Greco-Roman Egypt. With M. Heinzelmann (University of Cologne), she excavates at Schedia near Alexandria.
