She drew attention to the settlement of Shashtepa as a promising object for the study of ancient urban culture in Tashkent (the identified age of the archaeological settlement was taken as the age of the city, which served as the basis for its anniversary celebrations).[1]
She is a laureate of the State Prize of the Uzbek SSR named after Biruni, in the field of science and technology (1985).[1]
She is currently deputy editor of the journal Oʻzbekiston tarixi ("History of Uzbekistan").[1]
