Subsequently, Letzter began her own seminal analysis of quantum symmetric pairs from the perspective of Hopf algebras, culminating in a complete classification. This work has served as the basis for breakthrough research by others on canonical bases , categorification, and geometric representation theory.

Recognition Letzter was recognized as a fellow of the Association of Women in Mathematics (AWM) in the class of 2021. Her citation read "For work in government and in AWM on behalf of women in mathematics, leading the AWM Policy and Advocacy Committee to formally establish the Hill visits program to advocate for women and girls with members of Congress, and co-organizing the 2015 AWM symposium and editing its proceedings".
