Dr Stefan focuses on European Union Law, in particular competition and state aid, constitutional and administrative law. 

Her work combines socio-legal and doctrinal analysis, quantitative and qualitative methods, while exploring the limits of the rule of law, and questions related to new modes of governance and judicial politics. 

Her recently co-edited book, EU Soft Law in the Member States, analyses the ways in which national administrations and courts deals with EU soft law instruments in competition, state aid, financial regulation, social policy, and environment. Dr Stefan also engages with EU transparency studies.
