In relation to her academic career, in the academic year 2014/2015 she began her PhD studies, which she concluded with Excellent Cum Laude.

She has carried out pre-doctoral research stays at universities or research centres with significant material and human resources. As part of her post-doctoral research, she spent two years at the Faculty of Law of the Universidade de Lisboa, where she studied market competition and trademark law. Precisely as a culmination of this period is her second book, entitled "Three-dimensional trademarks", which was published in December 2021.

Her research interests include Intellectual Property, particularly designs and trademarks (aesthetic and formal creations) and, to a lesser extent, competition law in the market (its goals and the abuse of a dominant position by an incumbent thanks to the gathering of information, among other topics).
She has made some incursions into other areas of Commercial Law, such as cooperatives and cohousing, the maritime sector (with colleague Prof. Torres Pérez, from the same research group and Lecturer in the Master of Translation) and the rights of shareholders in capitalist companies.
