Her research focuses on the History of Law and Institutions, particularly the development of constitutionalism in Spain, the role of universities in legal education, and the intersection of law, religion, and politics. She has published extensively on the Cádiz Cortes, the expulsion of the Jesuits, and the evolution of constitutional teaching in Spain.

Her recent publications reflect a strong thematic continuity in legal and constitutional history, especially during the liberal periods of the 19th century. She explores how constitutional ideas were disseminated through education, theater, and public discourse, and how institutions such as universities and the Senate evolved in response to political change. Her work combines institutional, cultural, and educational perspectives to understand the formation of modern Spanish legal identity.

She has supervised doctoral research, notably her own thesis on the Jesuits’ temporalities and the confiscation of their property in the Kingdom of Valencia, supervised by Dr. Mariano Peset Reig. While no formal list of advisees is available, her academic lineage and mentorship are evident in her scholarly network.

Pilar Garcia Trobat is actively engaged in academic research and publication, with a consistent output over several decades, indicating ongoing scholarly activity and institutional presence at the University of Valencia.
