She is a Fellow at the Centre for Criminology of the University of Hong Kong. Emiline is also a member of the Trafficking Culture Research Consortium, the UK Blue Shield, and the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime. Emiline's research concerns the trafficking of ‘special’ commodities, such as antiquities and wildlife. Her research primarily focuses on Asia. She explores how and why participants take part in illicit transnational trades, and how urban settings, especially so-called ‘global cities’ and freeports, facilitate such trade. She is further interested in harms on and against the ocean.
