Her research activity is devoted to two main themes: (a) structural characterization of advanced materials for energy storage, and (b) structural characterization of matter under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. She is coordinating the scientific activity of the XAFS and XRF beamlines staff, as well as supervising fellows within different programs of ICTP, IAEA and IUCr. She was involved in different research projects funded by EU, IAEA and CERIC-ERIC. She is member and of the XAFS commission of the IUCr.
