She is an Invited Assistant Professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, Department of Informatics Engineering, and an Integrated Research Fellow at ITI-LARSyS.
Her research focuses on the societal aspects of digital media and HCI being practice-based, particularly in empowering marginalised and underserved groups, using participatory and qualitative methodologies such as ethnography, participatory design, focus groups, and in-depth interviews.
