Dr. Juan's research is focused on simulation, especially virtual and virtual reality simulation, curriculum evaluation, and nursing students' well-being. She was granted the Early Career Research Award in 2024 by the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) for her virtual simulation project. Meanwhile, she also collaborated with the faculty from the Computer Science department at CSUEB to create VR scenarios in promoting patient safety in the acute care setting.
