Her work investigates motor unit activation patterns in healthy individuals, athletes, and patients with pathologies or aging, incorporating analysis of surface electromyography and biomechanical interactions during whole-body vibration. Key projects include the CAPRICORN study on neuromuscular control during vibrations and the SELF European project on smart wearables for health.

Publications highlight quercetin's role in reducing muscle damage and enhancing neuromuscular recovery (2020), neural adaptations to strength training (2019), and carbohydrate mouth rinsing effects on fatiguing exercise (2017). Research spans diabetes rehabilitation, motor unit discharge properties, and fatigue mechanisms.
