She is an Assistant Professor at FEP where she teaches Energy Economics and Policy for master students and Economic History for Economics undergrads. She is a member of the organizing committee of the Seminars Programme at FEP and supervises undergrad project work in Economics.
  She is interested in understanding the role of energy transitions and natural resources in the process of long-term economic development but also the possibilities of decoupling future economic growth from resource use and emissions.  Current research interests include the role of deep electrification, automation, crisis, energy and material efficiency, climate and urban policies, and individual choices on the sustainability of energy systems in Portugal, Europe, and the World. 
As a result of her research, she has published in high-impact factor journals within Energy and Sustainability (i.e Energy, Energy Policy, Ecological Economics) and top-field journals within Economic and Business History (ie: The Economic History Review, European Review of Economic History, Enterprise and Society). 
She has also supervised several master theses on energy, sustainability, and economic history topics.
