Lindai’s research focuses broadly on developing support systems for college students. Her work emphasizes multicultural competence, trauma-informed care, and the ethical integration of emerging technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence, into education.

Through her research, she aims to strengthen support systems and promote holistic well-being for diverse and underrepresented student populations. Across her work, she uses multiple methodological approaches, including mixed-methods, quantitative, and qualitative methods, to generate comprehensive and meaningful insights.

Lindai collaborates with scholars across multiple universities and disciplines, including computer science, rehabilitation counseling, and media studies. By drawing on these interdisciplinary partnerships, she seeks to generate practical, evidence-based insights that directly inform both educational and counseling practices.

Lindai's clinical work involves providing counseling services to diverse clients with varying statuses and identities, such as international students and graduating engineering students. Her services span personal counseling, career counseling, and academic advising across settings such as the college counseling center, the Global Education Office, and the Office of Student Success.
