Her research interests are mainly in formal methods for programming languages; her work is notable for a proof of the soundness of the Java programming language.[2]

Her first Ph.D. student was Diomidis Spinellis. She is the daughter of the lawyer and politician Antonis Drossopoulos, and of the author Athena Cacouris (Greek: Αθηνά Κακούρη). She currently teaches a first year course to Computing and Joint Mathematics and Computer Science undergraduates at Imperial College London called ‘Reasoning about Programs’.
