Ilke's research centers on promoting the well-being of youth, with a focus on psychoeducational outcomes among underrepresented, gifted and talented students. Drawing on positive psychology, she is interested in protective and preventive approaches to psychological practice and examines the risk and resilience factors that influence youth well-being to inform effective interventions.
