Her research portfolio spans topics including, but not limited to, industrial ecology and food systems. Her research applies both quantitative modeling and qualitative approaches to evaluate complex sustainability challenges across multiple scales and contexts. She employs techniques such as material flow analysis, vulnerability assessment, and technology assessment with attention to ecological impacts, combined with computational tools including Python and SPSS, to investigate how ecological, social, and technological systems interact, adapt, and transform under environmental, social, and economic pressures.

In addition to her research, Dr. Mohammadi has taught multiple sustainability-related courses and mentored students on systems-based and industrial ecology projects, fostering the next generation of researchers and practitioners. She has experience collaborating with multicultural and multidisciplinary teams in both academic and industrial settings, translating complex sustainability analyses into practical solutions.
