Teaching: She teaches modules such as History of Venetian Art, Introduction to Art History, and Iconography of Fashion across undergraduate and graduate programs, including the Master's in History of the Arts.

• Interdisciplinary studies on art conservation (e.g., Rubens' Family Gonzaga altarpiece via the LANIAC lab)
