Mhatre's work has covered insect communication and biomechanics. Some of her research has been focused on Black Widow spiders,[1] and she has been called a "Tree cricket Expert".[5] Her work has had applications beyond spiders and insects to Tuvan throat singers, where she collaborated with a group to investigate how unique sounds were produced.[6]
