Her research focuses on precise orbit determination (POD), Earth's gravity field modeling, satellite accelerometer data analysis (GRACE, GOCE), and advanced time transfer using optical and microwave links in space missions such as ACES and Galileo. She is deeply involved in the European Laser Timing (ELT) experiment and the development of future geodetic reference systems like GETRIS.

Recent publications highlight her work on combining optical and microwave observations for calibration, improving orbit accuracy through inter-satellite links, and simulating time transfer systems in space. Her research bridges geodesy, metrology, and fundamental physics, particularly in relativistic effects and clock synchronization.

She has supervised numerous bachelor’s and master’s students, contributing to education in satellite geodesy and space applications. Her work is frequently presented at major conferences including the European Geosciences Union and International Laser Ranging Workshops.
