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 is a lecturer for undergraduate students studying Computing and Joint Mathematics and Computing at Imperial College London. She teaches courses on "Logic & Reasoning" to first-year students and "Models of Computation" to second-year students.[3]
In 2023, she was awarded the Dahl–Nygaard Prize for her research in the field of Programming Languages.[4]
