She is a member of Instituto Dom Luiz – IDL, where she coordinates the Research Group RG3 - Solid Earth dynamics, hazards and resources. She focuses her research on deciphering earth structure, from the crust to the lower mantle, using seismic tomography, ambient seismic noise, anisotropy and receiver functions. Aiming to contribute for a better knowledge on the role and origin at depth of mantle plumes, she conducts most of her work in the Atlantic volcanic islands.
