Her research aims to understand the backscattering of low-energy ions bombarding a target with something called LEIS.
LEIS measurements have proven to be extremely useful in determining the elemental composition of the outermost atomic layer of a target sample.
A cool fact in advance: a classic analogy for LEIS is billiard balls, you can calculate the mass of the atom as the energy of the backscattered ion goes with the mass fraction of the ion and the atom.
