Her main research area is bio-inspired underwater robotics to imitate the movements of fish and turtles.

There she has served as head of the biorobotics center 2008–2016 and professor 2008–2016; research vice-dean of the Faculty of Information Technology 2015–2019; Head of the Biorobotics Center of the Institute of Computer Systems; Professor of the Institute of Computer Systems since 2017; and research vice-rector from 2020.

Until now, the biggest test of underwater technology has been how to control the robots, because often neither humans nor machines can communicate with each other in the water in a normal way.

Based on the same source of inspiration, she has developed current-sensitive sensors and actuators that improve the robot's perception of its environment.
