For some reason I imagine people coming across her work and having a bunch of Eureka! Moments. Leading to the entire tech tree being rapidly uncovered due to how similar it was to their existing tech.

To be fair Dr Saunders is a genius like he's the best in hyperspace physics and the only one that can come close is McAndrews who wrote the foundation for the jump drive in the first place, it's not that hard to see him standing on Novak's work to find a new breakthrough it's how science works and besides it still took him a month

Been reading Interstellar Wars again and it mentions plagues that occurred right after the 3rd Interstellar War:Have the Terrans already dealt with this? Because maybe Sophie could help develop advanced medicines or ideas regarding disease treatment or other things as well.

She could but why would she? It's already being handled by conventional medics and even if she did and magically make Terran diseases disappear, the Vilani will still find an excuse to start the 4th interstellar war, remember the Vilani governor is an anti-Terran she's going to start a war on way or another

No. It's currently being handled by Confed Bureau of Health.

Thing is she is a physics genius. She suddenly branches out as a medical genius making cures and treatments that will cause her issues. The government is already watching her as a anomaly. She starts pulling polyglot answers for everything they need out of her hat that will make people nervous why and how.

That said, they know she studied advanced biotech in the uni, so it wouldn't be completely out of the field ...

Physics is far safer for her right now. If they knew what she could do and did she would be in a birdcage or a bullet in the head. That's not joking or exaggerating. Sometimes the only safe thing is to terminate a threat.
 
You know, what if Sophie invents nuclear dampers here at least 2 tech levels or so before they appear in Traveller canon? :D Some breakthrough on physics on her end or someone builds off of it or something :D
