Cornelia's primary research work centers on her PhD within the SUBDENSE project, exploring the dynamics of densification in suburban areas. Her main focus is on understanding the strategies of different actors in the densification process, particularly highlighting the relationship between municipal intervention strategies and their impact on landowners' private property rights.

In addition, Cornelia is currently working on a project on land ownership transparency. Here, her focus is on transparency as a political decision and its interpretation concerning the balance between public and private interests.

Cornelia's interest in land policy and densification strategies began during her Master's thesis. Her research on the land value tax as a land policy instrument for densification sparked her curiosity about how land policy instruments and strategies influence land uses and the involvement of various actors, especially the significant role of landowners and their property rights.
