She is currently working on a research project that explores the themes of Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Indigenous Language Education. This project builds on her DPhil project which explored the role of indigenous knowledge and minority language education, through an ethnographic study of two mother-tongue education schools. This research, now published as a monograph titled Language, Education, and the Nepali Nation analysed both embodied and material dimensions of minority language education. Drawing on this research, she has published on material transformation , indexicality , diversity , identity , and contested process of knowledge-making in minoritized language education. 

She is completing a book manuscript based on her research on reconstruction of government schools after the 2015 earthquake in Nepal (supported by Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship). This research focuses on how seemingly neutral materialities become interlinked with the meanings that they bring to social lives. She will also draw on her research on the impact of pandemic on education.

As a post-doctoral fellow in a DANIDA-funded collaborative research project: ‘Public Finance Dynamics in Education in Nepal’, she examined the ways in which social assistance for education, in its attempt to address inequalities faced by marginalised groups, shapes the relationship between state and citizens. Publications emerging from this research discuss state-citizen relation , school-community relation , and state infrastructural power, and question the idea of free school education .
