Her research interests focus on urban design, urban history, public space, and mathematical simulation models of urban form. She investigates the historical and interdisciplinary dimensions of urban development, particularly in Portuguese and Lusophone contexts. Her work emphasizes the interplay between theory, practice, and societal context in shaping cities.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a consistent trend in urban morphology, public space analysis, and historical urban reconstruction. Her work combines qualitative historical inquiry with quantitative spatial modeling, including agent-based simulations and isovist analysis. Geographic foci include Lisbon, the Azores, Praia (Cape Verde), and Lusophone African cities.
