She investigates emergent electronic phases from electron repulsion, including:

• Mott insulators
• Magnetism
• Nematicity
• Superconductivity
• Hund metals
• Moiré correlated systems (e.g., twisted bilayer graphene)

Recent research trends include modeling graphene-based moiré systems, with past work on iron superconductors and cuprates. She has published extensively and presented over 100 research talks.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Severo Ochoa award
• Two CSIC awards

She coordinates the course 'Emergence of Quantum Phases in Novel Materials' and organizes international conferences like 'The New Generation in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems'. Actively involved in science outreach, she co-founded Iniciativa 11 de Febrero and serves on ICMM's Equality Committee.
