Her work focuses on space norms and behaviours within the context of international relations and policy. Clara completed her Bachelor's thesis on the identification of risks linked to the emergence of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems, which laid the foundation for her interest in strategic security and the policy, legal, and strategic challenges associated with cutting-edge technologies.
