As such, her research goes beyond the traditional boundaries of Information Systems, delving into the complex interactions between technology and society, exploring how emerging technologies are facilitating the transition to Society 5.0, ensuring that her work has broader implications for societal progress, sustainable development, smart city development and well-being. The above includes improving user-system Interaction (incl. HCI) through the integration of emerging technologies to improve user-system interaction. As such, her research also focuses on understanding adoption, acceptance, or resistance to these technologies. In 2023, she was listed in the Stanford University’s database of top 2% scientists in Artificial Intelligence sub-field, based on Scopus data on 2022.

She serves as a program committee for several international conferences (20+), part of an organizing committee (5+), and invited reviewer for 15+ high-quality (Q1-Q2) journals. She is an Editorial Board Member and an Associate Editor for several journals (International Journal of Information Management (IJIM) (SJR Q1, ABDC: A*, IF 21), BMC Research Notes (Springer Nature), eJournal of eDemocracy and Open Government (JeDEM), Data & Policy (Cambridge Press), International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS) (IGI Global) etc.), and leading track chair for (IFIP) EGOV-CEDEM-EPART (Emerging Issues and Innovations Track, chairs: Anastasija Nikiforova, Marijn Janssen, Francesco Mureddu) and International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o) (Sustainable Public and Open Data Ecosystems Track, chairs: Anastasija Nikiforova, Anthony Simonofski, Anneke Zuiderwijk, Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar). She is an expert of the COST – European Cooperation in Science & Technology, as well as Latvian Council of Sciences in Engineering and Technology-Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and Social Sciences – Economics and Business. She is also an associate member of the Latvian Open Technology Association. She is also an EDSC ambassador (European Digital Skills Certificate, as part of Action 9 of the Digital Education Action Plan (2021- 2027) – JRC/SVQ/2022/OP/0013), and member of International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.5 (IFIP WG8.5 on ICT and Public Administration).

Her previous experience includes the role of a visiting researcher at Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, an assistant professor at the Faculty of Computing and researcher in the Innovation Laboratory of University of Latvia, and IT-expert at the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, BBMRI-ERIC Latvian National Node, where she was involved in six ERDF and Horizon 2020 projects with a focus on data management and software engineering. She also has worked on preparing and submitting research proposals at both national, regional and international levels (ERDF, Horizon 2020, CHANSE and national funding programs). She also acted as an advisor for the Institute for Social and Political Studies (University of Latvia). She also served as expert of the as Latvian Council of Sciences in Natural Sciences – Computer Science and Informatics.

For her research, public activity and other achievements, the LATA (Latvian Open Technologies Association) has recognized her as a person of the year and has awarded her for promotion of open data and open technologies. In 2019 she was nominated to WDS Data Stewardship Award as one of the most exceptional contributors of early career researchers.
